Hi Porter,
How lucky you are to buy in the US. One litre of this oil probably costs
CAT pumps no more than $1.50, so you might think that $9 is a bit of a rip off---until you try to buy the same product in the UK where it costs £20.47 ( nearly $25 ); oh, plus £6.95 " postage " !
For the past 23 years and 3,500 hours I have always topped up my CAT pump
277 with engine oil, 15w40. Not had a problem.
What does anyone else do ?

Desalator manual says you can use 15w40, so that is what I did last year when I changed the oil.

We too have used 15W40, as per the manual, for many years and had zero issues.
