[2] REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE LUBRICATING OIL AND OIL FILTER CARTRIDGE
The parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and may
cause serious burns. Wait for the temperature to go down before starting the operation.
• For details of using oil specified, see “Maintenance 7.1 Use of Fuel, Coolant and Lubricants
According to Ambient Temperature”.
• Failure to use proper oil may cause the engine to shorten its useful life. Always use the
specified oil for replenishment.
• The engine oil must be maintained at a proper amount.
• The complete draining of oil is not possible if the engine becomes completely cold. Oil
draining is allowed when the engine is cold to touch.
• Keep impurities out of the filler cap when replenishing oil.
• Oil pan refill amount: 11 liters
• Prepare a container to catch drain oil: 15 liters or more
• Prepare a filter wrench.
1. Remove undercover (1) at the bottom of the machine, then set
the container under drain valve (P) on the left side of the
machine to catch the oil.
2. Open drain valve (P) and drain the oil. Be careful not to get oil on
yourself.
3. After draining oil, close drain valve (P).
4. Open the pump room door on the right side of the machine.
5. Using filter wrench, turn filter cartridge (2) to the left to remove it.
6. Clean the filter holder, fill the new filter cartridge with clean oil,
coating the thread and packing portion of the new filter cartridge
with oil (or coat thinly with grease), then install.
• Check that there is no old packing stuck to the holder. If there is
any old packing stuck to the filter, it will cause leakage of oil.
• When installing, tighten until the packing surface contacts the
filter holder, then tighten a further 3/4 turn.
7. After replacing the filter cartridge, add oil through oil filler (F) until
the oil level is between H and L marks on the dipstick (G).
8. Run the engine at idle for a short time, then stop the engine, and
check that the oil level is between the H and L marks on the
dipstick. For details, see “Operation 3.1.2 [2] Checking Oil Level
In Engine Oil Pan Add Oil”.
