CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND STANDARD
SPIN-ON TYPE LUBRICATING OIL
FILTERS
WARNING
OTHER MEANS OF STARTING. ALWAYS
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES.
With the engine stopped, place a suitable
container of at least 148 litres (32.5 gal)
beneath the drain plug. Remove the drain
plug and allow the oil to drain. This operation
is best carried out while the engine is still
warm as the thinner oil will drain more
efficiently. While the oil is draining remove
the three oil filters turning them anti-
clockwise with a strap wrench Fig. 30.
NOTE: Removal of oil filters will allow an
escape of oil from the filter header. It is
therefore recommended that a suitable
container of at least 5 litres (1 gal) capacity is
positioned under each filter prior to removal.
Wipe clean the sealing faces and threaded
bosses of the oil header. Smear engine oil
on the captive rubber sealing ring and
carefully screw each new filter up to the oil
header using firm hand pressure only.
Use only genuine Perkins oil filters. The use
of other filters may cause serious damage to
the engine.
Refit the drain plug and fill the engine with
the appropriate grade of new oil
15 - 16). (If fitted) manually set the air shut
off valves to the run position, hold the stop
lever in the stop position. Turn the keyswitch
to the start position, and crank the engine
over until the oil pressure gauge registers
0.4 kg/cm² (5lb/in²).
Continue cranking for a further 10 seconds
which will ensure that oil has reached the
turbocharger bearings.
Stop cranking the engine and visually check
the engine for oil leaks, top up the oil level.
