NOTICE

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.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "AVSpare Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on AVSpare products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


The normal oil change interval for the machine is Every 500 Service Hours or every year when the following conditions are met:

  • Use an engine oil in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities"
    .

  • AVSpare filters are used.

  • The altitude does not exceed 2300 m (7545 ft).

  • Sulfur content in the fuel is between 0.05% and 0.50%.

An oil change interval of Every 250 Service Hours or every six months is required when the following conditions occur:

  • Use an engine oil in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities"
    .

  • The altitude exceeds 2300 m (7545 ft).

  • Sulfur content in the fuel is between 0.50% and 1.00%.

An oil change interval of Every 125 Service Hours is required when the following condition occurs:

  • Sulfur content in the fuel is above 1.00%.

Refer to the results of the S·O·S oil analysis in order to determine if the oil change interval should be decreased. Consult your AVSpare Dealer for detailed information regarding the optimum oil change interval.

  1. Open the engine access door. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Access Doors and Covers".

  2. Tilt the radiator upward. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Radiator Tilting".

  4. Remove the filter element with a 187-2718 Filter Wrench. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Oil Filter - Inspect" in order to inspect the used filter for debris.

  5. Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the sealing surface of the new filter element.

  6. Install a new engine oil filter hand tight until the seal of the engine oil filter contacts the base. Note the position of the index marks on the filter in relation to a fixed point on the filter base.

    Note: There are rotation index marks on the engine oil filter that are spaced 90 degrees or 1/4 of a turn away from each other. When you tighten the engine oil filter, use the rotation index marks as a guide.

  7. Tighten the filter according to the instructions that are printed on the filter. Use the index marks as a guide.

    Note: You may need to use a AVSpare strap wrench, or another suitable tool, in order to turn the filter to the amount that is required for final installation. Make sure that the installation tool does not damage the filter.

  10. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan. Fill the crankcase to the "FULL" mark (4) on the oil level gauge (1). Do not exceed the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Add oil or drain oil if it is necessary.

  11. Tilt the radiator downward.

  12. Close the engine access door.
