4. Every 400 hours:
CHANGING THE OIL FILTER
(at same time as an oil change)
- Remove the old filter.
- Oil the rubber gasket and fit a new genuine Scania filter.
- 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 has to be replaced 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 ready mixed
coolant.
Open the cap carefully.
Water and steam may
spray out.
Use a container to avoid spillage
when changing the filter.
Dispose of used filters through
an authorised waste disposal
contractor.
