Typical example
(1) Drain plug
(2) Drain valve
After the engine has been run at the normal operating
temperature, stop the engine. Use one of the
following methods to drain the engine crankcase oil:
• If the engine is equipped with a drain valve (2), turn
the drain valve knob counterclockwise in order to
drain the oil. After the oil has drained, turn the
drain valve knob clockwise in order to close the
drain valve.
• If the engine is not equipped with a drain valve,
remove the oil drain plug (1) in order to allow the
oil to drain.
After the oil has drained, the oil drain plugs should be
cleaned and installed. If necessary, renew the O ring
seal on the drain plug.
Some types of oil pans have oil drain plugs that are
on both sides of the oil pan, because of the shape of
the pan. This type of oil pan requires the engine oil to
be drained from both plugs.
Tighten the drain plug to a torque of 34 N·m (25 lb ft).
Replace the Spin-on Oil Filter
NOTICE
Perkins oil filters are manufactured to Perkins specifi-
cations. Use of an oil filter that is not recommended
by Perkins could result in severe damage to the en-
gine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larg-
er waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the
engine lubricating system. Only use oil filters recom-
mended by Perkins.
1. Remove the oil filter (5) with a suitable tool.

Typical example
2. Clean the sealing surface of the oil filter base (3).
Ensure that the union (6) in the oil filter base is
secure and free from damage.
3. Apply clean engine oil to the O ring seal (4) on the
oil filter.
NOTICE
Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them.
This oil would not be filtered and could be contami-
nated. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear
to engine components.
4. Install the new oil filter (5). Spin on the oil filter until
the O ring contacts the sealing surface (3). Then
rotate the oil filter ¾ of a full turn. Remove the
container and disposal of the waste oil in
accordance with local regulations.
Fill the Engine Crankcase
1. Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Manual for more information on
lubricant specifications. Fill the crankcase with the
proper amount of oil. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual for more information on refill
capacities.
