OPERATION 26

Change the Engine Oil and Filter

To change the engine oil and filter, operate the engine until the coolant temperature reaches 60°C (140°F). Shut off the engine.

There are two oil plugs, 1, located on the bottom of the oil pan. Either plug can be removed to drain the oil. Drain the oil completely to make sure all the oil and suspended contaminates are removed from the engine.

Clean the area around the lubricating oil filter head, 1. Remove the filter, 2.

NOTE: All model tractors use one single oil filter mounted on the right-hand side of the engine.

Clean the sealing surface of the filter head. The O ring may stick on the filter head. Make sure it is removed.

Using the correct oil filter for your engine, fill it with clean engine oil. The lack of lubrication during the delay until the filter is pumped full of oil is harmful to the engine. Apply a light film of oil to the gasket sealing surface before installing the new filter.

Install the filter on the filter head. Tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the filter head surface. Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn.

NOTE: Over-tightening can distort the threads or damage the filter element seal. Do not use tools to tighten the filter.

Clean and check the oil drain plug threads and the sealing surface. Install and tighten the oil drain plug to 88 N⋅m (65 ft. lbs.).
