Specifications when working on the lubri-
cating oil system
Do not work when the engine is running!
Smoking and naked lights prohibited!
Danger of scalding from hot lubricating oil!
Pay attention to utmost cleanliness when
working on the lubricating oil system. Clean
the area around the components con-
cerned carefully. Blow damp parts dry with
compressed air.
Observe the safety regulations and nation-
al specifications for handling lube oils.
Dispose of leaking lubricating oil and filter
elements properly. Do not allow used oil to
seep away into the ground.
Perform a trial run after all work. Pay atten-
tion to tightness and lubricating oil pressure
and then check the engine oil level.
In case of fuels containing more than 1%
sulphur, contact your corresponding
DEUTZ partner.
Check lubricating oil level
z
Pull out the lubricating oil dipstick and wipe off
with a lint-free, clean cloth.
z
Insert the lubricating oil dipstick as far as it will
go.
z
Extract the lubricating oil dipstick and read off the
oil level.
Low lubricating oil level or overfilling lead to
engine damage!
The lubricating oil level may only be
checked with the engine in a horizontal po-
sition and switched off.
If the engine is warm, switch off the engine
and check the lubricating oil level after 5
minutes.
Be careful of hot lubricating oil. Danger of

The lubricating oil level must always be between
the MIN and MAX-1 marks. Fill up to the MAX-1
mark if necessary.
The lubricating oil dipstick shows an apparent over-
filling owing to the recirculating oil (e.g. filter) when
the engine is cold. The MAX-2 mark is used for this.
Changing the lubricating oil
z
Warm up the engine (lubricating oil temperature
> 80 °C).
z
Ensure that the engine or vehicle is in a level po-
sition.
z
Switch off the engine.
z
Place a collecting receptacle underneath the
lube oil drain screw.
z
