Engine Oil and Filter - Change
To avoid contam
ination of the oil samples, the tools
and the supplies that are used for obtaining oil
samples must b e clean.
The sample can be checked for the following: the
quality of the oil, the existence of any coolant in the
oil, the exis
tence of any ferrous metal particles in
the oil, and the existence of any nonferrous metal
particles in the oil.

contact the skin.
NOTICE
Care mus
t be taken to ensure that fluids are contained
during performance of inspection, maintenance, test-
ing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to
collec
tthefluid with suitable containers before open-
ing any compartment or disassembling any compo-
nent containing fluids.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and
mandates.
NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.
Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened
component life.
Do n
ot drain the engine lubricating oil when the
engine is cold. As the engine lubricating oil cools,
suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of
the
oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with
draining cold oil. Drain the oil pan with the engine
stopped. Drain the oil pan with the oil warm. This
dr
aining method allows the waste particles that are
suspended in the oil to be drained properly.
Fa
ilure to follow this recommended procedure will
cause the waste particles to be recirculated through
theenginelubricationsystemwiththenewoil.
Drain the Engine Lubricating Oil
Note: Ensure that the vessel that will be used is large
enough to collect the waste oil.
After the engin
e has been run at the normal operating
temperature, stop the engine. Use one of the
following methods to drain the engine oil pan:

•
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. If the engine is equipped with a shallow oil
pan, remove the bottom oil drain plugs from both
ends of the oil pan.
After the oil has drained, the oil drain plug should be
cleaned and installed. If necessary, replace the O
ring seal. Tighten the drain plug to 34 N·m (25 lb ft).
Remove the container and disposal of the waste oil
in accordance with local regulations.
Replace the Oil Filter
NOTICE
Perkins oil filters are manufactured to Perkins speci-
fications.Useofanoilfilter that is not recommended
by Perkins, could result in severe damage to the en-
gine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger
waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine
lubricating system. Only use oil filters recommended
by Perkins.
1. Place a suitable container below the oil filter
assembly. Remove the oil filter with a suitable tool.
