Engine oil

In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the
thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.
In all 4T engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should be con-
sidered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be influenced
by the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".
Replacement
Replace oil and filter every 6,000 km. The engine
must be drained by running off the oil from drain-
age cap "B" of the flywheel side mesh pre-filter;
furthermore to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the
cap/dipstick "A". Once all the oil has drained
through the drainage hole, unscrew the oil car-
tridge filter "C" and remove it.
Make sure the pre-filter and discharge tap O-rings
are in good condition.
