Engine Oil and Filter - Change
The design of the dipstick can be identified by the
numbers (5079476) on the dipstick.
Engine Oil and Filter - Change
(1000 Hour Service For Certain
Engines Only)
The constant speed engine model 403F-11 with
prefix EJ can be configured to operate with an
extended oil service. The extended oil service is
1000 hours.
Oil and Filter Change
The engine oil and filter are removed and installed
using the same procedure as a 500 hours service.
The engine oil filter is a different design to the 500-
hour oil service.
A different design oil gauge (dipstick) is used on the
1000-hour service. This dipstick can be identified by
the number (5079476) on the dipstick. Checking the
level of the engine oil is the same procedure as the
500-hour service.
Note: The fuel system must be configured to operate
with an extended service.

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are con-
tained during performance of inspection, mainte-
nance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product.
Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable contain-
ers before opening any compartment or disassem-
bling any component containing fluids.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations
and mandates.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.
Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened

component life.
Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil
cools, suspended waste particles settle on the
bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not
removed with the draining cold oil. Drain the
crankcase with the engine stopped. Drain the
crankcase with the oil warm. This draining method
allows the waste particles that are suspended in the
oil to be drained correctly.
Failure to follow this recommended procedure will
cause the waste particles to be recirculated through
the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
Oil and Filter Change Intervals
The standard engine oil and filter change period is
500 hours. There are several other factors that can
alter the standard engine oil and filter change of 500
hours.
• If the engine is using engine oil analysis to
determine oil and filter change period.
• The engine is working in a severe service
environment/Load Factor
• Infrequent operation of the engine

Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Severe Service Application" for more information on
reducing the engine oil and filter change period. For
severe service applications the recommended oil and
filter change period is 250 hours.
If the engine is operated in severe service conditions,
Perkins recommends the use of engine oil sampling.
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
Fluid Recommendations, General Lubricant
Information and see section Oil Analysis for more
information.
If the engine is operated infrequently less than 500
hours in a 12-month period, then the engine oil and
filter change should be conducted yearly.
Drain the Engine Oil
After the engine has been run at the normal
operating temperature, stop the engine. Use one of
the following methods to drain the engine crankcase
oil:
