Check Calibration At First Oil Change
Engine oil level will vary depending on angle and slant of the engine installation (angle = front to back tilt, slant = sideways tilt).The engine will be equipped with either the Traditional or the Full Range oil level gauge. It is a good idea to verify that the oil level gauge markings are correct. The most convenient time to verify the markings is when the oil is changed, preferably at the first oil change.To verify the "ADD" mark and to establish the actual "FULL" mark on the oil level gauge, use the following procedure:
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact the skin.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface to perform this maintenance procedure.1. Operate the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved. Stop the engine. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow the oil to drain for 20 minutes.2. Remove the used oil filter(s). Install the new dry oil filter(s). Install the oil drain plug. Tighten the oil drain plug to 70 14 N m (50 10 lb ft).
Never fill the oil filters with oil before installing them. This oil would not be filtered and could be contaminated. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to engine components.
3. Pour 30 L (32 qt) of oil into the sump. Allow enough time for the oil to fill the sump. Approximately 20 minutes should be allowed. Check the oil level, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level again. Proceed after the oil level stops changing.4. Ensure that the oil level gauge is seated. Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. The oil level should be at the "ADD" mark. If the oil level is not at the existing "ADD" mark, grind off the mark and engrave the new "ADD" level, using an engraving pen.5. Pour 6 L (6 qt) of oil into the sump. Allow enough time for the oil to drain into the sump.6. Ensure that the oil level gauge is seated. Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. The oil level should be at the "FULL" mark. If the oil level is not at the existing "FULL" mark, grind off the mark and engrave the new "FULL" level, using an engraving pen.
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter or system, extra oil must be added when filling the crankcase. Follow the auxiliary oil filter OEM recommendations.
7. Pour an additional 3 L (3 qt) of oil into the sump for a total fill capacity of 39 L (41 qt).
To prevent crankshaft or bearing damage, crank the engine with the fuel "OFF" in order to fill all of the oil filters BEFORE starting. Do Not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking again.
8. Start the engine. Operate the engine long enough to ensure that the lubrication system [including auxiliary filter(s)] is filled. Inspect for oil
