    The initial break-in service interval of a new or rebuilt wet sleeve engine with Break-in Plus must go at least 100 hours to assure the surface mating of the rings and liners has had an opportunity to occur. The 100 hour minimum applies to all new or rebuilt engines. The maximum service interval is the same as the service interval recommendations listed in Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals—Final Tier 4 Engines located in Fuels Lubricants and Coolants section.

    Operate engine to warm oil. Stop engine. Remove crankcase drain plug (A). Replace plug after oil drains out.



  2. Remove filter (B) and clean filter mounting surface. Apply a thin film of oil to replacement filter gasket and install. Hand-tighten filter element. Do not overtighten.

  3. Fill crankcase with seasonal viscosity grade oil. (See Diesel Engine Oil in the Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants section.)12
