Operation 19- Engine Oil and Filter
(Only after
first 50 hrs)
Change Engine oil & oil filter after first 50 hrs of run of
the engine.
EVERY 300 HOURS carry out the preceding
checks plus the following:
The following text depicts the normal 300 hours
engine oil and filter change period. However, engines
operating in temperatures below – 12°C (10°F) or in
arduous conditions should have the oil changed every
150 hours of operation. (the oil filter need only be
changed at the normal 300 hours service interval).
In some territories, locally available diesel may have a
high sulphur content, in which case the oil change
period should be adjusted, as follows:
*
Diesel fuel sulphur content below 0.5% -
normal oil change period applies.
*
Diesel fuel sulphur content between 0.5 and
1.0%
-
Reduce oil change period to half of the
normal.
*
Diesel fuel sulphur content between 1.0 and
1.3%
-
Reduce oil change period to one quarter of
the normal.
The use of diesel fuel with sulphur content above
1.3% is not recommended.
