Replace the Oil Filter
NOTICE
Perkins oil filters are built to Perkins specifications.
Use of an oil filter not recommended by Perkins could
result in severe engine damage to the engine bear-
ings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger waste
particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubri-
cating system. Only use oil filters recommended by
Perkins.
1. Remove the oil filter with a suitable tool.
Note: The following actions can be carried out as
part of the preventive maintenance program.
2. Cut the oil filter open with a suitable tool. Break
apart the pleats and inspect the oil filter for metal
debris. An excessive amount of metal debris in the
oil filter may indicate early wear or a pending
failure.
Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous
metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in
the oil filter element. Ferrous metals may indicate
wear on the steel and cast iron parts of the engine.
