1.2 Adding oil
1. Clean the area around oil filler cap
dust and dirt from entering the engine.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and add the specified
oil as necessary.
3. Make sure that the oil level is correct. If the oil
level is checked immediately after adding, the
reading may be lower than the actual level
because all added oil may have not yet reached
the oil pan. Wait for at least 5 minutes after add-
ing oil. If you add too much oil, remove the drain
plug on the oil pan to drain excessive oil and
achieve the correct level.
4. Install the oil filler cap.
WARNING
Take care not to spill engine oil as engine oil
on the exhaust manifold or other hot sec-
tions of engine could catch fire. Wipe clean
the oil if spilt.
CAUTION
•
The added oil should be of the same grade
and viscosity as the oil originally placed in
the engine.
•
Take care not to add more than the specified
quantity of oil. The engine can be severely
damaged if the correct engine oil level is not
maintained.
•
When adding engine oil, take care not to spill
it. If oil is spilled on a belt, the belt will slip
on pulleys.
1.3 Replacement
NOTE:
You must reset the engine control unit every time
after replacing the engine oil. See 1.4 "Resetting the
engine control unit" for details of the method. If you
cannot do it yourself, have it done by an authorized
MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or dealer.
