6.1 Lubrication System
6.1.1 Oil Change Intervals
● The oil change intervals are dependent on the
engine application and the quality of the lube
oil.
● If the engine runs fewer hours during the year
than stated in the table, the oil should be changed
at least once a year.
● The table refers to the following conditions:
– For diesel fuel: sulfur content max. 0.5% by
weight.
– Continuous ambient temperatures 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 oil changes should
be halved.
● In the case of fuels containing more than 1% sul-
fur, contact your service representative.

Change the oil with the engine off but still warm (lube oil temperature approx. 80 °C).
1)
Lube oils having both a C- and an S classification (e.g. CD / SE) can be used. Oils with only a C classification
(e.g. CE) generally perform very well in diesel engines and are to be preferred.
2)
D5 grade oil with sulfate ash content > 1.8% by mass.
3)
SHPD lube oils can be used.
These are the equivalent of D5 grade.
