The engine lubrication oil and oil lter must be changed
at the same time. (Figure 5-17)
To change the engine lubrication oil:
1. Park the paver on a level surface and turn off the
engine.
Change the engine lubrication oil
while the engine is WARM, not hot. Hot oil can cause
serious personal injury.
DO NOT change the engine lubrication
oil lter while the engine is running. Serious engine
damage will occur.
2. If needed, wait until the engine lubrication oil has
cooled a little. Oil should be warm, not hot.
3. Locate oil drain hose on right side of the paver.
4. Place a container large enough to hold at least 17
quarts of oil underneath the drain hose.
5. Remove cap on end of the hose and drain all engine
oil into the container.
6. Reinstall cap back onto the hose and reinsert hose
back into place.
7. Fill the engine with 17 quarts of oil at the oil ll cap.
8. Check oil level using the oil dipstick.
9. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local and
federal environmental laws.
Use the following procedures to change the oil lter:
1. Wipe the area around the oil lter and its mounting
base with a clean cloth.
2. Place the empty container under the lter element.
3. Use a lter removal wrench to remove the lter,
turning counterclockwise.
4. Drain and discard the oil lter in accordance with
Step 9 above, including the rubber gasket.
5. Wipe inside the oil lter head using a clean, lint-free
cloth.
6. Rub a little oil on the rubber gasket area of the new
lter element.
7. Install the new lter element onto the lter head.
Carefully tighten the lter (by hand only).

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. (Figure 5-17)
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.
