Replace the Oil Filter

Typical example
1. Remove the oil filter housing (2) from the oil filter
base (1). Remove the O-ring from the oil filter
housing (2). Discard the O-ring.
2. Remove the oil filter element from the oil filter
housing (2).
3. Cut the oil filter open with a suitable tool. Break
apart the pleats and inspect the oil filter for metal
debris. An excessive amount of metal debris in the
oil filter may indicate early wear or a pending
failure.
Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous
metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in
the oil filter element. Ferrous metals may indicate
wear on the steel and cast iron parts of the engine.
Nonferrous metals may indicate wear on the
aluminum parts, brass parts or bronze parts of the
engine. Parts that may be affected include the
following items: main bearings, rod bearings,
turbocharger bearings and cylinder heads.
Due to normal wear and friction, it is not
uncommon to find small amounts of debris in the
oil filter. Consult your Perkins distributor in order to
arrange for a further analysis if an excessive
amount of debris is found in the oil filter.
4. Clean the sealing surface of the oil filter base (1).
Clean the oil filter housing (2). Clean the drain plug
(3).
5. Install a new O-ring to the drain plug (3). Install the
drain plug (3) to the oil filter housing (2).
Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them.
This oil would not be filtered and could be contami-
nated. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear
to engine components.
6. Install a new oil filter to the oil filter housing (2).
Install a new O-ring to the oil filter housing (2).
7. Install the oil filter housing (2) to the oil filter base
(1). Tighten the oil filter housing (2) to a torque of
90 N·m (66 lb ft).
Fill the Engine Crankcase
1. Remove the oil filler cap. Refill the engine
crankcase with engine oil. Refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities " and
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
recommendations" for more information.

If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re-
mote oil filter system, follow the OEM or filter manu-
facturer's
overfilling the crankcase with oil can cause engine
damage.
To prevent crankshaft bearing damage, crank the en-
gine with the fuel OFF. This will fill the oil filters before
starting the engine. Do not crank the engine for more
than 30 seconds.
2. Start the engine and run the engine for two
minutes. Perform this procedure in order to ensure
that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil
filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks.
3. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to
the sump for a minimum of ten minutes.
