Fluids, Lubricants, Capacities and Specifications
Note: New engines DO NOT require a running-in period. The engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle
immediately; glazing of the piston cylinder bores, resulting in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the engine is gently
run-in. Under no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods; (e.g., warming up without load).
Engines of new machines are filled at the factory with JCB 10W/30 Multigrade oil. This oil should be drained after the first 100
hours operation and the engine filled with the appropriate recommended grade as shown in the lubrication chart. JCB 10W/30
Multigrade should also be used for the first 100 hours operation whenever a new or reconditioned engine is fitted to the
machine. After the first 100 hours operation, it is essential that the 10W/30 oil is replaced by the lubricant recommended
below.
