Engine Oil And Filter - Change; Drain The Engine Lubricating Oil - Perkins XGA 1600 Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

SEBU8455
Note: After the engine has been switched OFF , wait
for 10 minutes in order to allow the engine oil to drain
to the oil pan before checking the oil level.
1. Maintain the oil level between the FULL RANGE
marks on the engine oil dipstick. Refer to
illustration 47. Do not fill the crankcase above the
FULL RANGE marks.
Illustration 48
Typical example
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
FULL RANGE marks could cause your crankshaft to
dip into the oil. The air bubbles created from the crank-
shaft dipping into the oil reduces the oils lubricating
characteristics and could result in the loss of power.
2. Remove the oil filler cap (1), by rotating
counterclock wise, and add oil, if necessary. Clean
the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap. Tighten oil
fill cap clockwise, ensure that the oil filler cap is
secure.

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained
during performance of inspection, maintenance, test-
ing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to
collect the fluid with suitable containers before open-
ing any compartment or disassembling any compo-
nent 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.
The procedure to change the engine oil and oil
filter for both types of engine are the same, but
g02854697
the service interval for both engine are different.
Do not drain the engine lubricating oil when the
engine is cold. As the engine lubricating oil cools,
suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of
the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with
draining cold oil. Drain the oil pan with the engine
stopped. Drain the oil pan with the oil warm. This
draining method allows the waste particles that are
suspended in the oil to be drained properly.
Failure to follow this recommended procedure will
cause the waste particles to be recirculated through
the engine lubrication system with the new oil.

Drain the Engine Lubricating Oil

Note: Ensure that the vessel that will be used is large
enough to collect the waste oil.
After the engine has been run at the normal operating
temperature, stop the engine.
