GHG17 DD Medium Duty Operators Manual WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST To avoid injury from inhaling engine exhaust, always operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. Engine exhaust is toxic. NOTICE: If no oil pressure is shown after approximately 10 seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Running the engine with no oil pressure could result in engine damage. 14. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position (600 rpm). Monitor the oil pressure gauge or indicator lamp. Keep the engine running at idling speed (600 rpm) until the oil pressure reading is 345 kPa (50 psi) or more. NOTICE: Do not add oil if the oil reading is between the crosshatch area on the dipstick.
There are approximately 4.0 L (4.2 qt) from the fill mark to the full mark. Overfilling the oil pan can cause engine damage. NOTE: If the engine operating temperature is below 60°C (140°F), the engine must be on a level surface and then shut down for 60 minutes for an accurate oil level reading. Otherwise, the engine must be brought up to an operating temperature of 60°C (140°F), parked on a level surface and then shut down for 20 minutes for an accurate oil level reading. 15. Check the filter housing for signs of leakage. 16. Stop the engine. Check the oil level again per the following guidelines.
If necessary, add oil no more than 4.0 L (4.2 qt) at a time up to the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick.
