Maintenance: Lubrication system

Lubrication system

IMPORTANT! With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil ﬁlters must be changed after 20-50 hours

of operation. After that they should be changed every 500 operating hours or at least once a year. Use only

the recommended grades of oil: See the chapter ”Technical Data”.

Oil level. Checking and topping up

The oil level should be within the marked area on the

dipstick (1). It should be checked every day before

the engine is started. Topping up is done through the

valve cover (2). Top up oil slowly. Wait a few minutes

before checking the oil level again to give the oil

time to run down to the oil pan. Then check the level

again. Use only the recommended grades of oil: See

the chapter ”Technical Data”.

IMPORTANT! Do not ﬁll the oil above the MAX

level.

Oil and oil ﬁlters. Changing

1. Run the engine to operating temperature so that

the oil is easier to suck out. Stop the engine.

2. Suck out the oil using an oil drain pump through

oil drain pipe.

WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can

cause burns.

3. Unscrew the old ﬁlter. (To avoid oil spills put a

plastic bag over the ﬁlter before it is unscrewed).

4. Check that the engine mating surface is clean.

5. Moisten the ﬁlter rubber gasket with a little oil.

Screw on the new ﬁlter by hand until it is in con-

tact with the mating surface. And then a further

half turn but no more!

6. Top up oil to correct level. Start the engine and

let it idle. Check that the warning lamp for low oil

pressure goes out.

7. Stop the engine. Wait for approx. 10 minutes

before checking the oil level. Top up if required.

Check that there are no leaks round the oil ﬁlter.

NOTE! Collect up the old oil and ﬁlter for deposit

at a proper disposal site.
