DRAINING ENGINE OIL
It is illegal to pollute, drains, sewers or the ground. Clean up all spilt fluids
and or lubricants. Used fluids and or lubricants, filters and contaminated
materials must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Use
authorised waste disposal sites.
•
Ensure the oil is warm but not hot as contaminants
held in suspension will be drained with the oil. This
will also allow the oil to drain quicker and more
thoroughly.
•
Place a suitable receptacle under the engine drain plug
15 to 20L capacity
Oil will gush from the hole when the
drain plug is removed. Hot oil and engine
components can burn you. Keep to one
side when you remove the plug.
NOTE:
use only genuine filters from NC. Using non genuine parts may result in loss
of engine oil pressure and subsequent engine damage.
•
Through the filler point, fill the engine with the recommended oil to the MAX mark on
the dipstick. Wipe up any spilt oil and replace the filler cap ensuring it is secure.
•
Operate the engine until the “Low Oil Pressure” warning LED goes out. Check for oil
leakage. When the oil has cooled check oil level again and if necessary top up with clean
engine oil. DO NOT OVERFILL.
•
Remove the drain plug (A) & the washer. Let the
oil drain out, then clean and refit the drain plug
with a new washer. Torque tighten the drain plug to
45-53Nm (33-39lbf ft).
•
Loosen anti-clockwise and remove the filter. Let
the oil drain out, The engine oil filter (B) MUST be
changed when the engine oil is renewed. Unscrew
the filter canister using a chain wrench if necessary.
•
Clean the seal face of the filter head.
•
Smear the seal on the new filter canister with clean
engine oil, screw the filter by hand. It will tighten
enough by hand. Do Not over tighten it by using a
wrench.
