Changing Engine Oil
IMPORTANT:
Change oil whenever a seasonal change in temperature makes oil of a different viscosity necessary.
NOTE:
Change oil after first 100 hours.
Drain oil with engine shut off, but with engine oil still warm.
1.
Remove drain screw (A).
2.
While crankcase is draining, replace filter element.
3.
Install drain screw; tighten to 50 N·m (37 lb-ft) (use new seal ring).
4.
Fill crankcase with fresh oil of proper viscosity (see section "Fuel, Lubricants, Hydraulic Oil and Coolant") at filler neck (B). With filter, capacity is approx. 16 liters (4.2 U.S. gal.).
5.
Run engine for a short time and check for leaks at filter base and drain screw.
6.
Shut off engine.
7.
Wait 15 minutes then recheck oil level. Oil should be up to the "XXX"-mark on dipstick. If necessary, top up with oil.
