4. Every 400 hours:
Renewing the oil filter
(in connection with oil change)
- Remove the old filter.
- Fit a new Scania genuine filter. Oil the seal on the filter before fitting.
- Tighten the filter by hand.
Never use tools for this. The filter could sustain damage, obstructing
circulation.
- Start the engine and check for leaks.
Important! If the deposits in the centrifugal cleaner are more than
20 mm thick, the oil filter must be renewed more often. The
same is true for cleaning the centrifugal filter and
changing the oil.
Cooling system
5. Daily:
Checking coolant level
- Open the expansion tank filler cap and check the coolant level.
- Correct level: (Scania plastic expansion tank)
- Cold engine: The coolant should be level with the bottom of the
filler neck.
- Hot engine: The coolant should be about 25 mm above the
lower edge of the filler hole.
- Other types of expansion tank according to the instructions of the fitter.
- Top up the coolant as necessary; see point 6.
Note: When filling large amounts of coolant:
Never pour cold coolant into a hot engine. This could crack the
cylinder block and cylinder head.
Always top up with pre-mixed
coolant.
Open the cap carefully.
Water and steam can spray out.
Use a container to avoid spillage
when renewing the filter.
Dispose of used filters through
an authorised waste disposal
contractor.
