Changing Engine Oil
Operate the engine until it is warm.
Stop the engine. Remove the sump drain plug and drain the lubricating oil from the sump. Fit the drain plug
tighten the plug to 34 Nm (25.1lbf-ft) /3.5 kgf-m.
Fill engine with oil at the oil filler neck on the valve cover. Check that the oil is at the ‘FULL” mark on the dipstick
with new and clean lubricating oil of an approved grade.
Dispose used oil properly.
Changing Oil Filter Cartridge
Put a tray under the filter to retain spilt lubricating oil.
Remove the filter with a strap wrench or similar tool. Then dispose of the filter properly.
Clean the filter head.
Add clean engine lubricating oil to the new filter. Allow the oil enough time to pass through the filter element.
Lubricate the top of the filter seal with clean engine lubricating oil.
Fit the new filter and tighten it by hand only. Do not use a strap wrench.
Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump. On turbocharged engines, ensure that the engine will not start
and operate the starter motor until oil pressure is obtained.
Operate the engine and check for leakage from the filter. When the engine has cooled, check the oil level on
the dipstick and put more oil into the sump, if necessary.
Return the unit back into service by returning the main pump controller selector to “automatic” position and the
manual operating lever to AUTO-OFF position.
