General maintenance
Use only high quality oils approved by the engine manufacturer
according to the list in the end of chapter 02.
Always keep a sufficient quantity of oil in the system. The oil
dipstick indicates the maximum and minimum limits between
which the oil level may vary. Keep the oil level near the max. mark
and never allow the level to go below the min. mark. The limits
apply to the oil level in a running engine. Add max. 10 % new oil
at a time (see chapter 02., section 02.2). One side of the dipstick
is graduated in centimeters. This scale can be used when checking
the lubricating oil consumption.
Change oil regularly at intervals determined by experience from
the installation concerned, see chapter 04. and 02., section
02.2.3.While the oil is still warm, drain the oil system, as well as
the oil cooler and filter. Clean the crankcase and the oil sump with
proper rags (not cotton waste). Clean the centrifugal filter.
Centrifuging of the oil is recommended, especially when using
heavy fuels, see chapter 02., section 02.2.3.
Utmost cleanliness should be observed when treating the
lubricating oil system. Dirt, metal particles and similar may
cause serious bearing damage. When dismantling pipes or
details from the system, cover all openings with blank gaskets,
tape or clean rags. When storing and transporting oil, take care
to prevent dirt and foreign matters from entering the oil. When
refilling oil, use a screen.
