2.12 ENGINE OIL LEVEL
MAINTENANCE
Check the oil level daily with the engine
stopped. If the engine has just been stopped
and is warm, wait at least 10 minutes to allow
the oil to drain back to the oil pan before
checking. Wipe the dipstick clean then check
oil level. The level should always be within the
safe range on the dipstick (Fig. 17). Add the
proper grade of oil to maintain the correct level
on the dipstick. All diesel engines are
designed to consume some oil, so a periodic
addition of oil is normal.
WARNING
Touching a hot engine can cause serious
burns.
CAUTION
Do not overfill. Oil may be blown out through
the crankcase breather if the crankcase is
overfilled.
CAUTION
Clean end of tube before removing the dipstick
to prevent oil contamination.

CAUTION
If the oil level is constantly above normal and
excess lube oil has not been added to the
crankcase, consult with an authorized Detroit
Diesel service outlet for the cause. Fuel or
coolant dilution of lube oil can result in serious
engine damage.
The vehicle is provided with an oil reserve tank
with a capacity of 2.2 US gallons (8,3 liters).
This reserve tank is connected to the crankcase
by a hose with a shutoff valve, allowing oil to be
added to crankcase. To adjust oil level, open the
oil reserve tank shutoff valve and allow oil to
discharge into the engine until the "Full" mark on
the dipstick is reached then close the valve.
Check oil reserve tank level and pour oil in the
reserve tank if necessary (Fig. 18). Comparison
of oil levels in sight gauge, before and after
adding oil to crankcase, shows approximately
how much oil has been added.
