The lubricating oil must be CC or CD grade.
Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator engine. If you use poor
engine oil or if you don’t change the oil regularly, the piston and cylinder will wear easily or seize up.
Also, the life of the other parts in your engine such as bearings, and other rotating parts will shorten
considerably.
Although there is an alarm system to check for low oil pressure, it is always a good idea to check the
amount of oil inside the engine. If the oil level is low, fill it before starting the engine. A good time to
drain the oil from the engine is when the diesel engine is still hot. If the engine is fully cooled, it is more
difficult to drain all the oil out or some impurities will remain in the engine.
Warning:Don’t fill engine oil when diesel is operating
