It is important that the proper type of oil be used in the crankcase. It is also important that
the oil level and quality be checked daily. Use of incorrect oil, inadequate oil level, or con-
taminated oil will cause engine damage.
Be sure the Articulator is parked on level ground before checking the oil level. Always
check the oil level before starting the engine, or wait more than five minutes after turning
off an engine that has been running. Check the oil level with the dipstick located under the
engine cover, on top of the engine, to the right of the oil intake cap. To add or change the
engine oil and/or oil filter, allow ample time for the engine and engine oil to cool. Consult
the
Kubota Diesel Engine Operator’s Manual for the proper procedures.
Consult the Engine Operator’s Manual for the proper SAE viscosity grade of oil that
should be used depending on your operating conditions.
