Technical notes

The 4W-4980 is the oil cooler core element used in the engine oil cooler group (0R-5519 / parent group 4W-5892) on Caterpillar 3512, 3512B and 3512C engines, and shares application across the 3500-family and machines such as the 777D, 784B and 785 series. Mounted in the lube oil circuit, the bundle transfers heat from engine lubricating oil to jacket coolant, lowering the operating temperature of bearings and other critical components. It is typically replaced during a major overhaul or after a catastrophic oil-system failure that may have contaminated the core. Because Cat lists multiple oil-cooler group configurations for the 3512B, verify the parent group (0R-5519) and engine serial/arrangement before ordering so the core matches the housing and connection layout.

Frequently asked questions

Which engines does the 4W-4980 oil cooler core fit?
Distributors list it for the Caterpillar 3512, 3512B and 3512C engines (including G3512 and PM3512 generator sets), within the broader 3500-family, and on machines such as the 777D, 784B and 785 series.
Is 4W-4980 the same as 0R-5519?
No. 4W-4980 is the oil cooler core itself; it is the core component of the 0R-5519 oil cooler group (Cat parent assembly 4W-5892). The two numbers are related but not interchangeable—confirm whether you need the bare core or the complete group.
