PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
•
The oil filler cap must be secured to avoid oil spill causing a potential
fire hazard.
Oil Level Check - Check engine oil daily
1. Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground
2. The engine must be at operating temperature (76 deg. C.) AND
the engine switched off for a minimum of 15 minutes.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean, lint-free rag.
4. Reinsert the dipstick all the way in (until handle bottoms out)
5. Pull the dipstick out and read the oil level.
6. The correct oil level is between the low (L) and high (H) marks on
the dipstick
Oil Reservoirs
For oil reservoirs with side filler plugs (transmissions, axles, steering gear
boxes, transfer cases etc) the oil must be level with the filler opening. Hub
reduction axles may require specific oil volumes to ensure correct levels.
(Refer to Electronic Customised Maintenance Manual, rear axle section).
Use care when checking the oil level with your finger. Just because you
can reach the oil level with a finger, does not mean the oil level is correct.
Oil Sampling
Analysis of your major components oil is crucial in keeping your truck
running smoothly. The health of your engine, gearbox/automatic
transmission and drive axles is often identified by the quality and condition
of your lubricating oils. All Authorised PACCAR Dealerships can carry out
oil sampling of your vehicle.
Oil Sampling can be divided into three categories:
• analysis of oil properties including those of the base oil and its
additives
• analysis of contaminants
• analysis of component wear
Your PACCAR Dealer can supply a test kit (Part No DF0SK) to provide a
sample of oil for testing.
