Fill the Oil Pan

and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations" for more information on
suitable oils. Fill the oil pan with the correct
amount of new engine lubricating oil. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill
Capacities" for more information on refill
capacities.
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re-
mote filter system, follow the OEM or the filter manu-
factures recommendations. Under-filling or over filling
the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.
2. Start the engine and run the engine at "LOW IDLE"
for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure 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 oil pan for a minimum of 10 minutes.
