 Oil Grade

The engine oil must fulfill the following quality requirements:

• ACEA E3, E4, E5 or E7
(E7 requires fuel with a low sulfur content).

API CI-4 plus is comparable with ACEA E7/E4.

API CI-4 is comparable with ACEA E5.
API CJ-4 is comparable with ACEA E9/E6.

Recommended and approved engine oil list: 00:16-21

 Checking Oil Level

 The engine should be off for at

least one minute before
checking oil level.
 The correct oil level is between
the minimum and maximum
marks on the dipstick. Oil level
should never be higher than
the maximum level. Max

 Add oil when the level is at or Min

below the minimum mark.

 Changing Oil Filter 500 hours

 Remove filter cover using a 36

mm socket.
 The filter housing will drain
automatically when the filter is
removed, leave filter in housing
for a couple seconds to let the oil
drain out of filter.
 Remove filter element from cover
by tapping filter element lightly.

 Changing Oil Filter

 Install the new filter to cover.

 Tighten filter cover to 18.5 ft-lb.

 Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

 The centrifugal cleaner’s rotor is

caused to spin by the oil pressure.

 Particles of dirt are forced against

the wall.

 The rotor must be dismantled and

cleaned at every oil change (500h).

 Clean the outside of the

cover. Unscrew the nut and
remove the cover.

 Cleaning Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

 Remove the rotor.

 Unscrew the rotor cover nut
one and a half turns, this will
prevent the rotor from falling
apart when disassembling.

 Cleaning Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

 If the rotor nut is jammed: turn the

rotor upside down and fasten the
nut in a vice.
 Turn the rotor approximately one
and a half turns counter clockwise
by hand or use a M20 bolt as
illustrated.

 Cleaning Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

 Hold the rotor and tap lightly on

the rotor nut with a plastic mallet
or against the workbench, so that
the rotor cover comes loose from
the bottom plate.
 Never strike the rotor directly as
this may damage the bearings.
 Remove the strainer from the rotor
cover. If the strainer is stuck insert
a screwdriver between the rotor
cover and strainer and carefully
pry them apart.

 Cleaning Centrifugal Oil Cleaner
 Scrape away any deposits inside
the rotor cover.
 If there are no deposits, the
centrifugal filter is not working.
 Clean and change oil more often if
the deposits are thicker than 1 in.
(25 mm)
 Wash parts in solvent. Inspect the
two nozzles on the rotor for
plugging or damage. Replace any
damaged nozzles.
 Check the bearings to ensure they
are not damaged.

Tool # 99 520
 Check that the shaft is tight. If it is
loose, remove and clean using
solvent. Tighten the rotor shaft
using tool 99 520 and Loctite 270.
 Install new o-ring on the cover.
 Install the cover, make sure the
o-ring sits correctly on the cover.
 Tighten the rotor nut by hand.

 Install the rotor and screw it

on by hand to make sure it
rotates freely.

 Replace the o-ring in the centrifugal

oil cleaner housing cover.
 Tighten the lock nut 11 ft-lb.
(15 Nm).
 Do not over torque the cover nut this
could damage the shaft and cause
major engine damage.
