7.6 Engine Oil Change

Regular oil changes are necessary to maintain a strong running engine. Terex rec-
ommends a normal oil change interval of 250 hours or every six months. Allow
the machine to cool prior to service. Wear safety glasses, safety gloves and any
other items necessary to ensure your safety while performing maintenance or
service.
To change engine oil:
1. Shut the machine down according to the procedure in section 5.13 and
allow the machine to cool before performing this procedure.
2. Lower the belly pan beneath the engine to access the oil drain and filter.
3. Remove the oil drain plug (item 1, fig. 7.6-1) from the right side of the pan.
4. Drain the oil into a suitable catch container.
5. Remove engine oil filter. Upon removal, make sure the filter gasket (item 2,
fig. 7.6-1) is still present on the filter. If not, remove it from the filter port on
the engine prior to installing the new filter to prevent leaks.
6. Apply fresh oil to the new filter gasket surface and install the new filter.
7. Tighten the new oil filter to specifications on filter label or box.
8. Refill the engine to capacity at the location labeled 3 above with oil as
specified in chapter 3, Technical Data.
9. Re-secure the belly pan as found upon removal, and dispose of the used oil
and filter according to mandates.
Oil and machine components can be HOT! Allow the machine to cool
thoroughly prior to performing maintenance or service to avoid the possi-
bility of burns.
