(4) Vertically up oil filter
Some oil filters may be installed vertically up. Use the
same procedure in order to replace the oil filter.
Ensure that all the oil has drained from the filter
before removal.
Fill the Oil Pan
1. Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to this Operation
and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid
Recommendations” for more information on
suitable oils. Fill the oil pan with the correct amount
of new engine lubricating oil. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Refill
Capacities” for more information on refill
capacities.
NOTICE
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re-
mote filter system, follow the OEM or the filter manu-
factures recommendations. Under filling or over filling
the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.
2. Start the engine and run the engine at “LOW IDLE”
for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure in order to
ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that
the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil
leaks.
3. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to
the oil pan for a minimum of 10 minutes.

4. Remove the engine oil level gauge in order to
check the oil level. Maintain the oil level between
the MIN mark and MAX mark on the engine oil
level gauge. Do not fill the crankcase above the
MAX mark.
Engine Oil Service Reset
NOTICE
Failure to perform a schedule oil and filter service with
an engine oil service reset will trigger an engine
derate.
The low oil warning lamp has two functions. The lamp
on solid will indicate that the engine has low oil
pressure. The lamp flashing will indicate the engine
oil and filter MUST be changed and the engine oil
service reset MUST be completed. The lamp will only
flash with the key in the ON position, with the engine
in operation the lamp will be extinguished.
Note: If the engine oil and filter have been changed
before the warning lamp has started to flash, the
engine oil service reset procedure MUST still be
completed. Upon completion of the reset procedure,
the lamp will flash three times.
Some applications may have other methods in order
to perform an engine oil service reset. For assistance
with the engine oil service reset contact your Perkins
distributor, or your OEM.
Use one of the following procedures after the engine
oil and filter has been changed in order to complete
an engine oil service reset:
