Note 1
The reduction gears of these engines (on
engines with manual type reversing
gears), are lubricated from the main en-
gine oil supply and, therefore, use the
same S.A.E. number of oil as the engine,
and do not have to be separately lubri-
cated.
Note 2
The hydraulic reversing gear is entirely
self-contained and independent of the
engine oil pressure system (sealed off
from engine oil pressure system). Use
same S.A.E. number oil as in the engine
of good quality non-foaming type. If
extreme foaming is encountered due to
unusual installation or operating con-
ditions, it will further reduce foaming
if type "A" automatic transmission oil
is used.
When engines have both hydraulic revers-
ing gear and reduction gear, the reduc-
tion gear is lubricated from the oiling
system of the hydraulic reversing gear.
The oil level should be checked periodi-
cally by means of the bayonet dipstick
located on the side at the forward end
of the hydraulic reversing gear housing.
Oil level shOi.lld be maintained between
the marks on the bayonet dipstick.

Note J
We do not recommend the use of heavy-duty,
high detergent oils during break-in.
These oils have such extremely good lub-
ricating qualities that correct and
thorough break-in is difficult if not
impossible. This is particularly true
with respect to seating of piston rings.
We recommend the use of a straight
mineral oil of S.A.E. JO weight during
the break-in period.
Most oil companies have now adopted a
standard system of rating the service
for which an oil is intended. In this
system an oil designated for ML service
is a straight mineral oil without addi-
tives and intended for light service.
The heavy-duty, high detergent oils are
deSignated MS and DG for severe gaso-
line engine service and general diesel
service. An oil designated for ML ser-
vice should be used during break-in
and an oil deSignated for MS and DG
service used thereafter.
Avoid using any oil that does not
fically state the service rating
can. Watch the' oil level gauge
oil pan and always keep the oil
the mark.
CAUTION
speci-
on the
in the
up to
Check the oil level stick before start-
ing and several times while filling to
prevent overfilling. Keep oil level
to the full mark on the oil stick.
Amounts of oil required vary with the
engine model and the angle at which the
engine is mounted.
