Maintenance
Changing the Engine Lubrication Oil
The engine lubrication oil must be changed according
to the interval given in the current Kubota diesel engine
operator’s manual.
NOTE: The color of the engine lubrication oil can not be
used as an indication of the need for a engine
lubrication oil change. The use of an engine
lubrication oil “analysis service” is the only
alternate reason for not following the required
engine lubrication oil change schedule.
Do not change the engine lubrication
oil when the engine and lubrication oil are hot.
Change when warm only. Hot oil can cause serious
personal injury.
Do not change the engine lubrication
oil lter with the engine running. Serious engine
damage, or failure, will occur. Clean the area around
the engine lubrication oil dipstick and oil ller cap
before removing the dipstick, or oil ller cap.
With the engine stopped, and the engine lubrication oil is
“warm”, proceed as follows:
1. Locate oil drain hose on right side.
2. Remove cap on end of hose and drain all engine oil
into container having a capacity sufcient to hold the
drained oil.
3. Install cap back on hose and slide hose back inside.
4. Fill the engine with 14 qts (13.24 liters) of oil, using
the correct engine lubrication oil.
NOTE: See this section for the correct amount of
lubrication oil. For the correct type of lubrication
oil see the current engine operator’s manual for
the Kubota diesel engine.
5. Install the engine lubrication oil dipstick.
Do not start the engine before
changing the engine lubrication oil lter. Follow the
Kubota diesel engine operator’s manual.

Engine Lubrication Oil
Checking the Engine Lubrication Oil
Level
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.
To accurately check the engine lubrication oil level:
1. Park the LeeBoy Model 8616 Conveyor Paver in a
level position and stop the engine.
2. Clean the area around the engine lubrication oil
dipstick before removing the dipstick from the
engine.
Stop the engine before checking the
engine lubrication oil level. With the engine running,
hot oil can be thrown causing serious personal
injury.
3. Wait ve minutes, after engine shutdown, before
removing the dipstick from the engine and checking
the oil level.
NOTE: This time will allow the engine lubrication oil to
return to the oil pan and will give a more accurate
measure of the engine oil.
