Service and Maintenance
6.1 Lubrication System
The first oil change after commissioning or
recommissioning following repair work is
carried out after 50 running hours.
The oil change intervals are dependent on :
– Lube oil quality
– Sulfur content in the fuel
– Engine application
Should, within a year, the engine run less than
the hours stated in the table, the oil must be
changed at least once a year.
The table refers to the following conditions:
– For diesel fuel max. sulfur content > 0.5 %
by wt.
– Continuous ambient temperature down to
–10 °C (+14 °F)
If the sulfur content is > 0.5 to > 1 % or the
continuous ambient temperature below –10 °C
(+14 °F), the intervals between the oil changes
should be halved.
In the case of fuels containing sulfur > 1 % ,
ask your service representative.
6.1.1 Oil Change Intervals
Change the oil with the engine off but still warm
(lube oil temperature approx. 80 °C / 176 °F).
If, for vehicle engines, lube oil change
intervals are determined by operating hours,
the lube oil change intervals indicated in
table 6.1.1.1. for “Oil use under normal duty”
will apply.
