PERIODIC MAINTENANCE - HOW TO
PROCEED
Change engine lubricant oil
Only proceed when the engine is not turning and is at low
temperature so as not to run the risk of burns.
Place a suitable container for collecting the spent oil under the oil
sump next to the lubricant oil drain plug (see the figures in the
section ENGINE TECHNICAL DATA).
Unscrew the lubricant oil drain plug; afterwards extract the oil level
dipstick (1) and remove the lubricant oil cap (2) to assist the flow
of the engine lubricant oil.
Wait until the oil sump has completely emptied, then retighten the
lubricant oil drain plug.
Proceed with the refilling operation through the hole situated on
the tappet cover of cylinder no. 1, using lubricant oil that meets the
international standards ACEA E5-E7 (high power engines), as
indicated in the section FLUIDS.
Use the oil level dipstick (1) to check that the quantity of lubricant
oil does not exceed the "Max" limit.
Retighten the lubricant oil cap (2).
Together with the replacement of the engine lubricant oil it is
necessary to replace the oil filter (see paragraph OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT).
Eliminate the consumables and any materials in
contact with them (for example, filters) in accordance
with current regulations.
The FPT Technical Service Network workshops are
equipped for this purpose.
Make sure that the oil dipstick is fully inserted and that
the oil filler cap is fully tightened in a clockwise
direction.
