TP-6196 5/04 7 Section 2 Scheduled Maintenance
2.2 Lubrication System
See Section 2.1, Scheduled Maintenance, for oil
change and oil filter replacement intervals.
See
Figure 2-2 for the oil drain, oil check, oil fill, and oil filter
locations.
The engine has a positive pressure lubrication system
and low oil pressure shutdown.
2.2.1 Low Oil Pressure Shutdown
The low oil pressure shutdown feature protects the
engine against internal damage if the oil pressure drops
below preset limits because of oil pump failure or other
malfunction. It does not protect against damage caused
by operating with the oil level below the safe range—it is
not a low oil level shutdown.
2.2.2 Oil Level Check
Check the oil level regularly and add oil as needed to
protect against running out of oil. See Figure 2-2 for the
dipstick and oil fill locations. Do not check the oil level
when the generator set is running.
Shut down the
generator set and wait several minutes before checking
the oil level.
2.2.3 Engine Oil Recommendation
Use synthetic oil of API (American Petroleum Institute)
Service Class SG or higher. Synthetic oil causes fewer
deposits on the engine intake valves and pistons
because it oxidizes and thickens less than other oils.
See Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4.
