Replace the Engine Oil and
Filter - Perkins Diesel Models
Periodic replacement of the engine oil and
filter is essential to good engine performance.
Operating the machine with an improper oil level or
neglecting periodic oil and filter changes can
damage engine components. A frequent check
of elapsed machine hours against the hours
noted on the oil filter will allow the inspector to
anticipate and perform oil and filter changes at
the 500 hour interval.
1 Remove the oil filler cap, located next to the
engine oil dipstick.
2 Pull the end of the engine oil drain hose out
from under the engine.
3 Remove the plug from the end of the drain hose
and allow all of the oil from the engine to drain
