5.3 ENGINE OIL ______________________________________________________________

Check the engine oil at the start of each day before

starting the engine.

To check the engine oil remove the dipstick and wipe it

with a clean rag. Reinsert the dipstick until it contacts the

oil tube. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level.

The oil level should always be between the ADD and

FULL mark on the dipstick. If oil level is below the ADD

mark remove the filler cap and add oil to bring the level

up between marks. Do Not Overfill.

NOTE: If the engine has recently been running allow time

(with engine turned off) to let the oil settle to obtain an

accurate oil level reading.

Diesel Engine: Use only engine oils with API

classification CD or CE.

Gas Engine: Use only engine oils with API classification

SJ.

Using oil other than the service class listed or oil change

intervals longer than recommended could reduce engine

life. Damage to engine due to improper maintenance or

use of incorrect oil quality and/or viscosity is not covered

by the engine warranty.

Diesel Engine: Perform initial oil change after first 35

hours of operation and every 75 hours or two months

thereafter. See Engine Manual.

Gas Engine: Perform initial oil change after first 50 hours

of operation and every 100 hours or three months

thereafter. See Engine Manual.

Significant oil loss can damage the engine. Considerable

oil loss could be due to a loose or incorrectly installed

drain plug, cracked gaskets, or a loose oil filter.

Drain plugs are located beneath the engine in the oil pan.

Remove both plugs when changing the oil.

Check drain plugs and oil for metal chips that could

indicate engine damage. Immediately replace drain plugs

with damaged gasket surfaces.

After oil has completely drained clean excess oil from oil

pan and drain plugs. Install drain plugs and tighten

securely. Refer to Engine Manual for proper torque.

Always replace the engine oil filter when changing the

engine oil. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the rubber

gasket surface of new filter before installing.

Diesel Engine: Fill Kubota engine with approximately 5.4

qts. (5.1 l) of clean engine oil. Check oil level and add

additional oil if required.

Gas Engine: Fill Suzuki engine with approximately 3.6

qts. (3.4 l) of clean engine oil. Check oil level and add

additional oil if required.
