Changing Engine Oil

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. Re-install the drain screw and tighten to 50 N·m (37 lb-ft). Remember to use a new seal ring.

4. Fill crankcase with fresh oil of proper viscosity at filler neck (B) (see section "Fuel, Lubricants, Hydraulic Oil and Coolant"). Capacity is approx. 19.5 liters (5.2 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" marks on the dipstick. If necessary, top up with oil.

IMPORTANT: Change oil whenever a seasonal change in temperature makes oil of a different viscosity necessary.

NOTE: The first oil change comes after the first 100 hours of operation.
