MBE 900 OPERATOR'S GUIDE NOTICE: For safety reasons, add the kerosene to the diesel only in the fuel tank. Add the kerosene first, then the diesel. Run the engine for a short time to allow the mixture to reach all parts of the fuel system. Engine Oils The engine is delivered from the factory filled with an approved engine oil. Figure 27 API Lubricant Service Mark When maintenance work is performed, record engine oil changes including details of the brand used, the quality category, and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) viscosity rating of the oil. When topping off, use only engine oils of the correct API designation and SAE rating.
Detroit Diesel POWER GUARD oils meet these specifications. NOTICE: The use of non-approved engine oils could affect warranty rights, and cause engine damage. To ensure long and trouble-free service, it is important to select oil of the correct viscosity and service designation. For information about oil in cold weather operation, see the heading "Low-Viscosity Engine Oil" later in this chapter. EGR Engines Only multigrade oils of American Petroleum Institute (API) service designation CI-4 will achieve proper performance for the cooled EGR engines. Detroit Diesel POWER GUARD oils meet this specification and are recommended. Look for the service mark printed on the oil container. See Figure 27.
