Replace Engine Oil
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Do not drain the engine lubricating oil when the engine is cold. As the engine lubricating oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with draining cold oil. Drain the oil pan with the engine stopped. Drain the oil pan with the oil warm. This draining method allows the waste particles that are suspended in the oil to be drained properly.Ensure that all adjustments, maintenance and repairs are performed by authorized personnel that have the correct training.Ensure that the vessel that will be used is large enough to collect the waste oil.Failure to follow this recommended procedure will cause the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.

Typical example
The engine can have the ability to auto start. Ensure that the power supply is isolated before any service or repair is performed.
Remove drain plug (1). Install drain line to the connection.
Open drain valve (2). Allow the engine oil to drain. After the oil has drained, close the drain valve.
Remove drain line and install a new drain plug. Tighten the drain plug securely. Note: Some application may have a pump in order to remove the engine oil. Connect a drain line to the pump. Unlock the pump and operate the pump in order to remove the engine oil. After the oil has been removed, lock the pump and remove the drain line.Fill the Oil Pan
Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid Recommendations" for more information on suitable oils. Fill the oil pan with the correct amount of new engine lubricating oil. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities" for more information on refill capacities.
Refer to "Commissioning Procedure for Duplex Oil Filters" before the engine is started.
Start the engine and operate the engine at "no load" for two minutes. Perform this procedure in order to ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks.
Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to the oil pan for a minimum of ten minutes.
