Refill Capacities
Lubrication System
The refill capacities for the engine crankcase reflect
the approximate capacity of the crankcase or sump
plus standard oil filters. Auxiliary oil filter systems will
require additional oil. Refer to the OEM specifications
for the capacity of the auxiliary oil filter. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance
Section” for more information on Lubricant
Specifications.

These values are the approximate capacities for the crankcase
oil sump (aluminum) which includes the standard factory in-
stalled oil filters. Engines with auxiliary oil filters will require addi-
tional oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the capacity of the
auxiliary oil filter. The design of the oil pan can change the oil ca-
pacity of the oil pan.
Cooling System
Refer to the OEM specifications for the External
System capacity. This capacity information will be
needed in order to determine the amount of coolant/
antifreeze that is required for the Total Cooling
System.

Diesel Fuel Requirements
Perkins is not in a position to continuously evaluate
and monitor all worldwide distillate diesel fuel
specifications that are published by governments and
technological societies.
The Perkins Specification for Distillate Diesel Fuel
provides a known reliable baseline in order to judge
the expected performance of distillate diesel fuels
that are derived from conventional sources.
Satisfactory engine performance is dependent on the
use of a good quality fuel. The use of a good quality
fuel will give the following results: long engine life and
acceptable exhaust emissions levels . The fuel must
meet the minimum requirements that are stated in the
table 7 .
