How to change the engine oil and standard oil filter
Draining the engine sump
A container with the following capacity will be required:
z 12 cylinder engines - 159 litres (35 gal)
z 16 cylinder engines - 214 litres (47 gal)
1 Remove the sump drain plug and allow the oil to drain into the container.
2 Place a container with a capacity of 5 litres (1 gal) under the filters to catch the oil which will be released as
they are removed.
3 Remove the oil filters using a strap wrench, turning the filter anti-clockwise (A).
Caution: The piston cooling jet filters must be changed at the same time as the main engine oil filters.
4 Clean the sealing faces and the threaded bosses of the oil filter header.
5 Lightly lubricate the sealing ring of the new filters with engine oil.
6 Screw each filter up to the header using firm hand pressure.
7 Refit the sump drain plug and refill the engine with the correct grade of lubricating oil as given in "Lubricating
oil recommendations" on page 58.
Caution: Prime the lubrication system before starting the engine, refer to "How to prime the lubrication system"
on page 26.
