Maintenance and Service
61
All diesel engines are designed to consume some oil, so it is normal to add oil
periodically. An engine used in heavy-duty operation will consume more oil
than one in normal operation.
To assist you in measuring your oil usage please refer to the Fuel and Oil
Record on “Fuel and Oil Record” on page 120.
Oil Change
A hot engine or engine oil can be dangerous. Serious burns can result
from contact with a hot engine or oil. Take precautions when draining the
oil. Wear gloves or let the engine cool down before draining.
When draining the oil, use the proper tools and keep away as far as
possible. Raise the elbow so the forearm is parallel to the ground to
prevent oil running down the arm, causing burns.
Always dispose of all lubricants (motor oil, coolant, gear box oils, etc) and
filters according to Federal or local regulations. Used oil disposed of in
nature or waterways contaminates our drinking water and kills wildlife.
Prolonged contact with used engine oil may be harmful. Use rubber gloves
when handling used oil. Wash skin thoroughly if it comes in contact with used
oil.
For information on the type of oil recommended for your engine, see “Oil
Quality” on page 57 and “Oil Capacity Tables and Viscosity Charts” on
page 108 for quantities and viscosities, or refer to the engine manufacturer's
operator's manual.
