3.1 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
3.1.1 Checking Engine Oil Level
1. Level the engine.
2. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick (2), wipe it
clean, reinsert it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
3. If the level is too low, add new oil to the specified
level.
NOTE
When adding oil to the crankcase, be sure that
the fresh oil is the same type and viscosity as
the oil that is already in the crankcase. Never
mix two different types of oil. Never over fill a
crankcase.
3.1.2 Changing Engine Oil
CAUTION
Stop the engine when preparing to change
the engine oil.
1. Start and warm up the engine for approximately for 5
minutes.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Place a proper receptacle/bucket under the engine
drain plug.
4. Remove the oil drain plug (1) and drain the engine oil
into a proper receptacle/bucket.
5. Remove the used oil filter and replace with a new one.
(Refer to Section 3.1.3)
6. After draining all of the oil in the engine, replace the
drain plug (1).
7. Remove the oil fill cap (3) and add the correct oil to the
engine.
8. Add oil until the engine oil level is up to the upper line
on the dipstick (2).
NOTE
Replace the engine oil filter with every oil
change.
When changing to a different oil manufacturer
or viscosity, be sure to remove all of the old oil
completely. Never mix different types of oil.
Use only MIL--L--46152 / MIL--L--2104C or API
classification CG--4 or CH--4 / CI oils.
Use the proper SAE Engine oil according to the
ambient temperatures.

NOTE
With emission controls now in effect, the CG--4
or CH--4 / CI lubricating oils have been devel-
oped for use of a low--sulfur fuel on--road ve-
hicles engines. When an off--road vehicle en-
gine runs on a high--sulfur fuel, it is advisable to
employ the CH--4 or CI lubricating oil with a high
total base number. If the CG--4 lubricating oil is
used with a high sulfur fuel, change the lubricat-
ing oil at shorter intervals.
Lubricating oil recommended when a low--sulfur or
high--sulfur fuel is employed.
