Refill Capacities
Lubrication System
The refill capacities for the engine crankcase reflect
the approximate capacity of the crankcase or sump
plus standard oil filters. Auxiliary oil filter systems will
require more oil. Refer to the Original Equipment
Manufacture (OEM) specifications for the capacity of
the auxiliary oil filter. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Section" for
more information on Lubricant Specifications.

(1) These values are the total capacities for the crankcase oil sump
which includes the standard factory installed oil filters and oil
coolers. Engines with auxiliary oil filters will require more oil.
Refer to the OEM specifications for the capacity of the auxiliary
oil filter.

General Coolant Information
NOTICE
Never add coolant to an overheated engine. Engine
damage could result. Allow the engine to cool first.
NOTICE
If the engine is to be stored in, or shipped to an area
with below freezing temperatures, the cooling system
must be either protected to the lowest outside tem-
perature or drained completely to prevent damage.
NOTICE
Frequently check the specific gravity of the coolant
for proper freeze protection or for anti-boil protection.
NOTICE
Never operate an engine without water temperature
regulators in the cooling system. Water temperature
regulators help to maintain the engine coolant at the
proper operating temperature. Cooling system prob-
lems can develop without water
regulators.
Clean the cooling system for the following reasons:
• Contamination of the cooling system
• Overheating of the engine
• Foaming of the coolant
Many engine failures are related to the cooling
system. The following problems are related to cooling
system failures: Overheating, leakage of the water
pump and plugged radiators or heat exchangers.
