1000 series » How to renew the lubricating oil of the engine

Warning! Discard the used lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.

Caution: Ensure that the application is on a level surface to ensure an accurate reading on the dipstick.

1. Operate the engine until it is warm.
2. Stop the engine, remove the sump drain plug (A1) and its "O" ring and drain the lubricating oil from the sump. Ensure that the "O" ring is not damaged. Fit the drain plug and its "O" ring and tighten the plug to 34 Nm (25 lb ft) 3,5 kgf m.
3. Fill the sump to the mark (A2) on the dipstick with new and clean lubricating oil of an approved grade.

How to renew the canister of the lubricating oil filter

Warning! Discard the used canister and lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.

Cautions:

• The canister contains a valve and special tube to ensure that lubricating oil does not drain from the filter. Therefore, ensure that the correct Perkins POWERPART canister is used.
• Ensure that the application is on a level surface to ensure an accurate reading on the dipstick.

The filter can have one or two canisters. When two canisters are fitted, both must be renewed at the same time.

1. Put a tray under the filter to retain spilt lubricating oil.
2. Remove the filter canister with a strap wrench or similar tool. Ensure that the adaptor (A1) is secure in the filter head. Discard the canister.
3. Clean the filter head.
4. Add clean engine lubricating oil to the new canister. Allow the oil enough time to pass through the filter element.
5. Lubricate the top of the canister seal (A2) with clean engine lubricating oil.
6. Fit the new canister and tighten it by hand until the seal contacts the filter head. Tighten the canister a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn by hand. Do not use a strap wrench.
7. Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump. On turbocharged engines ensure that the engine will not start and operate the starter motor until oil pressure is obtained. To ensure that the engine will not start, either put the manual stop control in the "stop" position or disconnect the electrical stop control of the fuel injection pump. Oil pressure is indicated when the warning light is extinguished or by a reading on the gauge.
8. Operate the engine and check for leakage from the filter. When the engine has cooled, check the oil level on the dipstick and put more oil into the sump, if necessary.
