7 - MAINTENANCE
EVERY 500 HOURS
Engine oil and filter
T4.75F — T4.85F
NOTE: This operation describes the process of draining oil from the engine sump and changing the relevant oil filter.
The frequency of 500 hours can anyhow be affected by other factors:
Cold temperature operation
Engines operating in temperatures below
-12 °C ( 10.4 °F )
or in arduous conditions should have the oil changed every
300 hours of operation. The filter must be changed regu-
larly as prescribed.
Diesel fuel sulphur content
In some countries, locally available diesel may have a high
sulphur content, in which case the oil and filter should be
changed sooner, as follows:
Sulphur content between
0,5 - 1,0 % change oil every 300
hours;
Sulphur content between
1,0 - 1,3 % change oil every 150
hours;
If in doubt, or if it is not possible to check the instructions
given, keep to the interval recommended in the Operator’s
Manual.
