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 oil when the engine is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with the draining cold oil. Drain the crankcase with the engine stopped. Drain the crankcase with the oil warm. This draining method allows the waste particles that are suspended in the oil to be drained correctly.
Failure to follow this recommended procedure will cause the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
After the engine has been run at the normal operating temperature, stop the engine. Use one of the following methods to drain the engine crankcase oil:
- If the engine is equipped with a drain valve, turn the drain valve knob counterclockwise to drain the oil. After the oil has drained, turn the drain valve knob clockwise to close the drain valve.
- If the engine is not equipped with a drain valve, remove the oil drain plug to allow the oil to drain. After the oil has drained, the oil drain plug should be cleaned and installed.

Perkins oil filters are built to Perkins specifications. Use of an oil filter not recommended by Perkins could result in severe engine damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating system. Only use oil filters recommended by Perkins. |
- Remove the oil filter with a suitable tool.
- Clean the sealing surface of the oil cooler (1).

NOTICE Do not 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 or engine damage.
- Install the oil filter (3). Tighten the oil filter by hand. Do not overtighten the oil filter.
- Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on lubricant specifications. Fill the crankcase with the correct amount of oil. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on refill capacities.

NOTICE If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a remote oil filter system, follow the OEM or filter manufacturer's recommendations. Under filling or overfilling the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.
Show/hide tableNOTICE To prevent crankshaft bearing damage, crank the engine with the fuel OFF. This will fill the oil filters before starting the engine. Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds.
- Start the engine and run the engine at "LOW IDLE" for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure 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 sump for a minimum of 10 minutes.
