Maintenance
The maintenance programme covers a number of
points that are divided into the following sec-
tions:
• Lubrication system
• Cooling system
• Air cleaner
• Fuel system
• Miscellaneous
Block the starting device when working on the
engine. If the engine starts unexpectedly, there is
a serious risk of injury.
There is always a risk of sustaining burns when
an engine is hot. Particularly hot parts are turbo-
chargers, oil sumps, hot coolant and oil in pipes
and hoses.
The maintenance programme includes the fol-
lowing:
• S maintenance: Minimum basic maintenance.
• M maintenance: More extensive mainte-
nance.
• L maintenance: Includes nearly all mainte-
nance items.
• XL maintenance: Includes all maintenance
items.
During a period, the sequence is S-M-S-L-S-M-
S-L-S-M-S-XL.
On delivery a Scania engine is optimised for its
application. However, regular maintenance is
necessary to
• prevent unplanned stops
• extend the service life of the engine
• maximise the long-term emission perfor-
mance of the engine
• give the best possible operating economy.
