Engine Oil Level

Check the engine oil level before you start the engine each day or before the start of each 10 hour shift. Make sure the engine is not running and the machine is parked on a level surface when you check the oil level.

NOTE: If the engine has been running, wait two or three minutes before you check the oil level. 1.Remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth. 2.Push the dipstick completely in and remove. 3.The oil level must be between the FULL and LOW marks on the dipstick. 4.If the oil level is below the LOW mark, add oil to the fill pipe. Raise the oil level to the FULL mark. Do not raise the oil level above the FULL mark.

NOTE: See Engine Oil Selection, page 98 for the engine oil specifications. 5.Install the dipstick.

Oil Change and Filter Replacement

Change the engine oil and replace the engine oil filter every 250 hours of operation.

If possible, change the oil when the oil is still warm from operation.

IMPORTANT: You must shorten the oil change interval if you use diesel fuel with a sulphur content of more than 0.5%.

Change the engine oil more frequently when the engine operating conditions are severe (frequent stopping and starting and high or low engine temperatures). 1.Remove drain plug cover from skid plate to gain access to drain plug.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use a filter strap wrench to install the oil filter. An oil filter strap wrench can cause a leak if the filter is dented. 7.Install the drain plug. Tighten the drain plug to a torque of 68-82 Nm (50 to 60 lb ft). Overtightening can damage the oil pan. Install drain plug cover to skid plate. 8.Put 10.4 litres (2.3 U.K. gallons) of new engine oil into the engine oil fill pipe. See Engine Lubrication, page 98 for the correct type of oil.

Systemgard Lubricant Analysis Program

The normal engine oil change interval is every 250 hours of operation. Operating conditions, quality of the engine oil and sulphur content of the fuel, can change this interval. It is recommended to use the Systemgard Lubricant Analysis program. See your Case dealer for details.
