C3M2-OM-EN-02
Note
Clean and dry the area around all components concerned thoroughly before
commencing work.
Observe safety regulations when handling oils and avoid skin contact.
Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain or into a stream, pond or
lake. Observe relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing
of used oil and filters.
6.8.3 Engine Oil Viscosity Class
The oil used in the engine must be suitable for the
ambient temperature range where the truck is
operating as temperature affects the viscosity of
the oil and therefore it’s lubricating properties.
Too high a viscosity can lead to starting
difficulties, too low a viscosity can endanger the
lubrication effect and cause a high lubricating oil
consumption. At ambient temperatures below -40
°C, the lubricating oil must be pre-heated.
The viscosity is classified according to SAE. Oils
suitable for multiple ranges must always be used.
See the adjacent viscosity chart for the
recommended viscosity classes based on the
ambient temperature.
The permissible engine oil class must be
observed when selecting a viscosity class.
6.8.4 Changing Engine Oil & Filter
The engine oil and filter must be replaced at regular intervals in accordance with the
maintenance schedule.
Engine Oil & Filter Change Procedure
1. Park the truck in a designated service
area (ground must be level) with the
mast reach extended to allow access to
the engine oil drain plug (A).
2. Lower the mast fully and tilt the mast
forward fully.
3. If the engine is cold, run it for 5 minutes
to warm the oil. This will help the oil to
flow.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the ‘0’ off
position, then remove the key.
