The engine lubrication oil must be kept at a level above
the ADD mark, but not above the FULL mark, on the
engine lubrication oil dipstick. (Figure 5-16) Access
the engine through the front engine access panel in the
paver hopper.
DO NOT check the oil while the
engine running. Hot oil can spew and cause serious
personal injury.
Engine oil should be API classication CJ-4. Change the
type of oil according to the ambient temperature:

To check the engine lubrication oil level:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn off the
engine.
2. Wait ve minutes to allow the oil to return to the oil
pan so you can obtain an accurate measurement of
the engine oil level.
3. Clean the area around the engine oil dipstick before
removing it from the engine.
4. Remove the dipstick from the engine and checking
the oil level. The oil level should be above the
ADD mark--but not above the FULL mark--on the
dipstick.
5. Add oil if needed.
Change Engine Oil and FilterChange Engine Oil and Filter
The engine lubrication oil and oil lter must be changed
at the same time.
DO NOT change the engine lubrication
oil lter while the engine is running. Serious engine
damage will occur.
To change the engine lubrication oil:
1. Park the paver on a level surface and turn off the
engine. If needed, wait until the engine lubrication
oil has cooled a little. Oil should be warm, not hot.
Change the engine lubrication oil
while the engine is WARM, not hot. Hot oil can cause
serious personal injury.
2. Locate oil drain hose on right side of the engine.
(Figure 5-17)
3. Place a container large enough to hold 9.5 quarts of
oil underneath the drain hose.
4. Remove cap on end of the hose and drain all engine
oil into the container.
5. Reinstall cap back onto the hose and reinsert hose
back into place.
