Lubrication system, Engine
IMPORTANT! With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil filters must be changed after 20–50
hours of operation. Use only the recommended grades of oil. Please refer to the “Technical Data” chapter.
Oil change intervals can vary from 100 to 200 hours, depending on oil grade and sulphur content of the
fuel. Please refer to the “Technical Data” chapter. Note that oil change intervals must never exceed a
period of 12 months. If you want longer oil change intervals, the condition of the oil must be checked by
the oil manufacturers through regular oil testing.

Checking and topping up the oil level
NOTE! Check the oil level every day before the en-
gine is started for the first time.
IMPORTANT! Do not check the oil level directly
after the engine is shut down. The oil in the en-
gine needs time run down to the oil pan before a
correct oil level check can be performed.
Wait 15 minutes if the engine has been run up to
normal operating temperatures.
Wait one hour if the engine only has been run at
idle.
IMPORTANT! The oil level should always be be-
tween the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick.
Higher or lower oil level than permitted could
lead to engine damage.
Topping up is done via the filler hole on the top of the
engine. Top up oil slowly. Wait 5 minutes before check-
ing the oil level again since the oil needs time to run
down to the oil pan. Then check the level again. Use
only recommended grades of oil: Please refer to the
“Technical Data” chapter.
NOTE! The volume between MAX and MIN is apporx.
1,5 liter (0,4 US gals) for D4 and 3,5 liter ( 0,9 US
gals) for D6.
