Checking - Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 2013 Owner's Manual

12-24
Simple inspection and service
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
API classification CJ-4 or ACEA C2
SAE40, 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W-40
CAUTION
•
Use only the specified engine oil. Any other
oils may contain substances that cause the
ceramic filter inside the DPF to be loaded
with particulate matter (PM) prematurely to
the capacity and thus shorten the effectively
functioning period of the DPF.
•
Change the engine oil at the specified inter-
vals. During the regeneration process of the
DPF, part of the fuel may mix into the engine
oil while the PM is being removed by burn-
ing. If the engine oil is not changed at the
specified intervals, it may excessively deteri-
orate due to mixing of fuel and could cause
engine failure. In the worst case, the engine
could spontaneously run at an abnormally
high speed.

Checking

NOTE:
•
Check the engine oil level with the vehicle
parked on a level place and the engine stopped.
A correct engine oil level cannot be determined
when the vehicle is tilted, or if the engine is run-
ning or the time after stopping the engine is too
short. Let the engine stand at least 10 minutes
after stopping it before checking the oil level.
•
The quantity of engine oil may increase due to
the fuel that may have mixed with it when the
DPF trapped PM is removed by burning. This
does not indicate any abnormality. For the same
reason, the engine oil can smell like fuel; this
also does not indicate any abnormality.
