DRAINING ENGINE OIL
It is illegal to pollute, drains, sewers or the ground. Clean up all spilt fluids
and or lubricants. Used fluids and or lubricants, filters and contaminated
materials must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Use
authorised waste disposal sites.
Ensure the oil is warm but not hot as contaminants held in suspension will be drained with
•
the oil. This will also allow the oil to drain quicker and more thoroughly.
Place a suitable receptacle under the engine drain plug 15 to 20L capacity
•
Oil will gush from the hole when the
drain plug is removed. Hot oil and engine
components can burn you. Keep to one
side when you remove the plug.
Remove the drain plug (A) and its "O" ring. Let the
•
oil drain out, then clean and refit the drain plug
with a new "O" ring. Torque tighten the drain plug
to 40-60Nm (30-44lbf ft).
Loosen and remove the filter housing drain plug
•
(B). Let the oil drain out, then clean and refit the
drain plug with a new "O" ring. Torque tighten the
drain plug to 35-40Nm (26-30lbf ft).
The engine oil filter (C) MUST be changed when
•
the engine oil is renewed. Unscrew the filter
canister using a chain wrench if necessary.
Clean the seal face of the filter head.
•
Smear the seal on the new filter canister with clean
•
engine oil, screw the filter on until it just contacts
the filter head. Turn the filter at least another 3/4 of
a turn.
NOTE:
use only genuine filters from NC. The engine oil filter is designed with a drain
down valve. Using non genuine parts may result in loss of engine oil pressure and
subsequent engine damage.
Through the filler point, fill the engine with the recommended oil to the MAX mark on
•
the dipstick. Wipe up any spilt oil and replace the filler cap ensuring it is secure.
Operate the engine until the "Low Oil Pressure" warning LED goes out. Check for oil
•
leakage. When the oil has cooled check oil level again and if necessary top up with clean
engine oil. DO NOT OVERFILL.
