LUBRICATING OIL CHECKS
Check the oil level daily with the engine
stopped. If the engine has just been stopped
and is warm, wait approximately 20 minutes
to allow the oil to drain back to the oil pan
before checking. Add the proper grade of oil
to maintain the correct level on the dipstick.
Check Oil Level Daily
All diesel engines are designed to use some
oil, so the periodic addition of oil is normal.
See "Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines" to
determine the degree of oil usage.
