7.6 Engine Oil Change
Regular oil changes are necessary to
maintain a strong running engine. Terex
recommends a normal oil change interval
of 250 hours or every six months. Allow
the machine to cool prior to service. Wear
safety glasses, safety gloves and any
other items necessary to ensure your
safety while performing maintenance or
service.
To change engine oil:
1.
Shut the machine down according to the procedure in section 5.13 and
allow the machine to cool before performing this procedure.
2. Open the rear door and hood to access the engine compartment.
3. Remove the access cover in the floor of the chassis beneath the engine to
access the drain plug, remove the drain plug (fig. 7.6-1).
4. Drain the oil into a suitable catch container.
5. Remove engine oil filter. Upon removal, make sure the filter gasket (item 3,
fig. 7.6-2) is still present on the filter. If not, remove it from the filter port
(on the engine) prior to installing the new filter to prevent leaks.
6. Apply fresh oil to the new filter gasket surface and install the new filter.
7. Tighten the new oil filter to specifications on filter label or box.
8. Reverse step 3 to reinstall the drain plug and cover, then refill the engine
to capacity (at item 4) with oil as specified in chapter 3.
9. Dispose of the used oil and filter according to mandates.
