1 NUMBER: S.M. REF.: Listed in Table ENGINE: EPA04 MBE 4000 DATE: September 2009 SUBJECT: ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGING ADDITIONS, REVISIONS, OR UPDATES Publication Number Platform Section Title Change Page Number(s) DDC-SVC-MAN-0023 EPA04 MBE Engine Oil and Filter Changing The drain plug will supersede to a sleeve insert, drain plug and washer. Torque values for the replacement drain plug components are different than those noted in Power Service Literature. NOTE: Page numbers are based on the most recent version of the individual publication and may be adjusted throughout the annual print cycle

2 ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGING Select the SAE class (viscosity) on the basis of the average air temperature for the season. See Figure 1. NOTE: Too strict adherence to the SAE classes will result in frequent oil changes. For this reason, view the temperature ranges for the various SAE classes as guidelines that can be exceeded for a short time. Figure 1 Engine Oil Temperature Ranges Use approved multigrade oils to extend the temperature range. To ensure the engine is protected and the oil stays clean until the next oil change, use only oils of API classification CH4. Drain oil as follows: PERSONAL INJURY To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked. 1. Using a 36-mm socket, unscrew the oil filter cap. See Figure 2.

3 NOTE: Change the engine oil only when the engine is at a temperature of approximately 140 F (60 C). Figure 2 Oil Filter Cap 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. 2. Drain the oil. [a] Place a suitable receptacle beneath the oil drain plug on the underside of the oil pan. [b] Carefully unscrew the oil drain plug on the oil pan and allow the oil to drain out.

4 [c] Discard the O-ring on the oil drain plug. Figure 3 Engine Oil Drain Plug 3. 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. See Figure Cap 3. Filter Element 2. O-ring Figure 4 Cap with Oil Filter Element NOTICE: To prevent damage to the filter housing, ensure that no foreign objects get inside it. Do not wipe clean the filter housing. 4. Replace the O-ring on the cap. See Figure Install the new filter into the cap. Make sure the filter element is securely in place. 6. Screw the cap onto the oil filter housing. Tighten the cap 45 N m (33 lb ft). 7. If equipped with a sleeve insert, drain plug and washer, install M26x1.5 sleeve insert to oil pan. Torque to N m (41-44 lb ft). Install M14x1.5 drain plug into the sleeve insert using the copper seal. Torque to 35 N m (26 lb ft). If equipped with a standard oil drain plug, install the oil drain plug, using a new O-ring; tighten the plug 80 N m (60 lb ft).

5 8. Add new engine oil through the oil fill, see Figure 5, until the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick has been reached. Engine fill capacity is 44.4 qts (42.0 L). 1. Oil Dipstick 2. Oil Fill Cap Figure 5 Oil Fill PERSONAL INJURY Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Always start and operate an engine in a well ventilated area. If operating an engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system or emission control system. 9. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position. Monitor the oil pressure gauge. 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. 10. Check the filter and oil drain plug for signs of leakage. 11. Stop the engine. Check the oil level again after approximately five minutes. If necessary, add oil up to the maximum fill level on the oil dipstick.
