Draining of the engine lubrication system by GRAVITY

Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension) .
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C) .
Drain the sump by gravity.
Remove the oil filter cartridge (time for draining and drip-drip =
15 minutes approx.) .
Refit the cap with a new seal.
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity) .

CAPACITIES (in litres)

Draining methods

Oil capacities are defined according to the following methods
ESSENTIAL: Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.

Draining of the engine lubrication system by SUCTION

Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension) .
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C) .
Remove the oil by suction through the dipstick tube.
Remove the oil filter cartridge.
Maintain the suction of oil in the sump (15 minutes approx.) .
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
