HOW-TO SECTION 12. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position. Monitor the oil pressure gauge. 13. Check the filter and oil drain plug for signs of leakage. 14. Stop the engine. 15. Check the oil level again after approximately five minutes. If necessary, add oil up to the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick. Do not overfill. Figure 36 Oil Fill PERSONAL INJURY Oil Centrifuge To avoid injury from slipping and falling, immediately clean up any spilled liquids. Only the 260 350 horsepower models (except motorcoach) have an oil centrifuge. NOTE: Engine oil fill capacity with a standard oil pan is 29.0 L (30.6 qts) including the oil filter. NOTICE:
Both the primary lube oil filter (front of engine) and the oil centrifuge cartridge (side of engine) must be replaced at each oil drain interval. 11. Fill until the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick has been reached. Do not overfill. Change the oil centrifuge cartridge as follows: NOTICE: Keep the engine running at idling speed until an oil pressure reading is obtained. If no oil pressure is shown after approximately 10 seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Failure to do so could result in engine damage. 1. Remove centrifuge cover and seal ring. Discard seal ring. See Figure 37. 2. Remove the dirty spinner cartridge and replace it with a clean one. See Figure 37.
