Checking Engine Oil Level
The engine oil level is monitored via the dipstick (
A
) on the front of the engine.
1. Stop the truck on level ground, apply the park brake and
switch off the engine.
2. Raise the bonnet from the right hand side of the truck to
gain access to the engine.
3. The oil level dipstick (
A
) is located on the left hand side of
the engine (for all engines). Wait until it is cool enough to
touch before proceeding or wear appropriate heat
protection gloves.
4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe the oil off with a clean lint
free cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go then pull it out again.
6. Check that the oil level lies between the upper and lower level marks.
7.
If the oil level is below the Min mark, add oil
(see Engine Oil System on page
75)
of the permissible class and suitable viscosity but do not exceed the Max
level.
Note
Oil level below the Min mark or above the Max mark leads to engine damage.
Mixing of engine oils should be avoided because the worst properties of the
mixture are always dominant.
Check the engine oil level before starting or wait at least 5 minutes after
stopping the engine for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
Caution
Switch off the engine before checking the oil level.
The engine will be hot after operation. Wear appropriate heat protection
gloves and avoid contact with the engine.
