Engine Oil and Filter Changing

Engine Oil and Filter Changing - EuroV MBE900

Warning: FIRE

To avoid injury from fire, keep open flames, sparks, electrical resistance heating elements, or other potential ignition sources away when draining lubrication oil. Do not smoke when draining lubricating oil.

Note: Select the SAE class (viscosity) on the basis of the average air temperature for the season. View the temperature ranges for the various SAE classes as guidelines which can be exceeded for only a short time.

To insure the engine is protected and the oil stays clean until the next oil change, use only oils of API classification CI4.‪

The six-cylinder EGR engines have an oil centrifuge and an oil filter. Non-EGR engines have only an oil filter.‪

Notice: Both the primary lube oil filter (front of engine) and the oil centriguge cartridge (side of engine) must be replaced at each oil drain interval.‪

Change the oil filter as follows:‪

  1. Chock the tires, place the transmission in neutral, and set the parking brake.
    2. Note: Change the engine oil only when the engine is at an operating temperature of approximately 82°C (180°F).
  2. Using a 36-mm socket, unscrew the oil filter cap.

  3. Place a suitable receptacle beneath the oil drain plug on the underside of the oil pan. Carefully unscrew the oil drain plug on the oil pan and allow the oil to drain out. Discard the O-ring on the oil drain plug.

  4. Remove both the filter cap and the filter element. To release the filter element, twist the lower edge of the filter element to the side.

    5. Notice: To prevent damage to the filter housing, ensure that no foreign objects get inside it. Do not wipe clean the filter housing.‪
  5. Replace the O-ring on the cap. See figure above.
  6. Install the new filter into the cap. Make sure the filter element is securely in place.
  7. Screw the cap onto the oil filter housing. Tighten the cap 25 N·m (18 lb·ft).
  8. Install the oil drain plug, using a new O-ring. Tighten the plug 65 N·m (48 lb·ft).
  9. Add new engine oil through the oil fill.

    10. Warning: PERSONAL INJURY

    To avoid injury from slipping and falling, immediately clean up any spilled liquids.

    Note: Engine oil fill capacity with a standard oil pan for the six-cylinder engine is 30.6 quarts (29.0 L). For the four-cylinder engine with a standard oil pan, fill capacity is 16.7quarts (15.8 L).
  10. Fill until the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick has been reached. Do not overfill.
    11. Notice: Keep the engine running at idling speed until an oil pressure reading is obtained. If no oil pressure is shown after approximately 10 seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Failure to do so could result in engine damage.‪
  11. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position. Monitor the oil pressure gauge.
  12. Check the filter and oil drain plug for signs of leakage.
  13. Stop the engine.
  14. Check the oil level again after approximately five minutes. If necessary, add oil up to the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick. Do not overfill.
