2. Remove drain plug (1), then loosen drain valve (2) slowly to
avoid getting oil on yourself, and drain the oil. Be careful not to
loosen the drain valve too far and deform the stopper pin inside
the valve.
3. Check the drained oil, and if there are excessive metal
particles or foreign material, please contact your Komatsu
distributor.
4. Tighten drain valve (2) and drain plug (1).

5. Using the filter wrench, turn filter cartridge (3) to the left to
remove it.
When doing this, to prevent getting oil on yourself, do not carry
out this operation from immediately under the cartridge.
In particular, if this operation is carried out immediately after
stopping the engine, a large amount of oil will come out, so wait
for 10 minutes before starting the operation.
6. Clean the filter holder, fill the new filter cartridge with oil, coat
the packing face and thread with oil (or coat thinly with grease),
then install the filter cartridge.
7. Install the filter cartridge. When doing this, be careful not to damage the outside cylinder of the cartridge.
When installing the filter cartridge, tighten until the packing face is in contact with the filter holder, then tighten
a further 3/4 to 1 turn.
8. Pour in the specified amount of engine oil from oil filler (F).
9. Run the engine for a short time at idle, then check the oil if it is
filled up to a specified level. For details, see "CHECK OIL
