DD Platform EuroV Operators Manual Inspection During Idling While the engine is idling, inspect the transmission and crankcase for fluid leaks. On DD15 and DD16 engines, check the Axial Power Turbine (APT) for oil leaks. Checking the Transmission While the engine is idling, check the automatic transmission (if equipped) for proper oil level and add oil as required. Checking for Fluid Leaks Check for fluid leaks as follows: 1. Look for coolant, fuel, or lubricating oil leaks. 2. If any leaks are found, shut down the engine immediately and have the leaks repaired after the engine has cooled. Checking the Crankcase Check the crankcase as follows: 1.
If the engine oil was replaced, stop the engine after normal operating temperature has been reached. Allow the oil to drain back into the crankcase for about 60 minutes, then check the oil level. NOTICE: Do not add oil if the oil reading is in the crosshatch area. There are approximately 5.0 L (5.2 qt) from the fill mark to the full mark. Overfilling the oil pan can cause engine damage. 2. If necessary, add no more oil than 5.0 L (5.2 qt) at a time to bring the level to the proper mark on the dipstick. Use only the heavy-duty oils recommended in the "How to Replace the Lubricating Oil and Oil Filter" section in this manual. All information subject to change without notice.
