Changing Engine Oil and Filter (Cummins Engine)IMPORTANT: When installing replacement filter element observe the utmost cleanliness. NOTE: An oil drain valve is available through parts channels for the engine on 6950 forage harvester. This valve keeps the main frame clean while the oil is being changed. Run engine approximately 5 minutes to warm up oil. Shut off engine. Oil pan with drain plug Remove oil pan drain plug (A) and drain crankcase oil while warm. Oil pan with drain valve Take cap (C) off the oil drain valve and screw on drain outlet (D). This slowly opens the valve; drain the oil from the crankcase while it is warm. Remove filter element (B). Dispose of it properly. Dispose of filter packing and clean filter mounting surfaces.

IMPORTANT: Fill the new oil filter with 2.7 L (0.7 U.S. gal) of clean lubricating oil. The lack of lubrication during the delay until filters are pumped full of oil is harmful to the engine. Oil the new packing and install new filter element. Hand tighten the element by 3/4 to 1 turn after the packing comes into contact with the filter housing. Do NOT overtighten filter element. Oil pan with drain plug Put the drain plug (A) back in. Oil pan with drain valve Remove the drain outlet and screw the cap back on the drain valve. Fill crankcase with correct engine oil at filler neck (A). Crankcase oil capacity (with filter change): 41.7 L (10.0 U.S. gal) IMPORTANT: Remove fuse F4 immediately after completing any change (oil and/or filter), and crank the engine for 30 seconds. This will help ensure adequate lubrication of engine components. Re-install fuse F4. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity may vary slightly from amount shown. Always fill crankcase to full mark on dipstick but do not overfill. Start engine and check for leaks. Stop engine and check oil level after 10 minutes. Oil level should be on upper mark of dipstick. |
