Buhler Versatile and Cummins Engine Co. recommend the use of a high quality 15W-40 multi-viscosity oil for most applications. Available from your Buhler Versatile dealer.

NOTE: The engine is filled with 10W-30 oil at the factory. This weight oil aids in cold- weather starting at the manufacturing facility. SAE 15W-40 oil as listed is the preferred viscosity oil for normal operation.

Operate the engine at idle speed to inspect for leaks at the filters and drain plugs.

NOTE: Engine oil pressure must be indicated on the Electronic Instrument Control System within 10 seconds after starting. If oil pressure is not registered within 10 seconds, shut off the engine immediately to avoid engine damage. Confirm the correct oil level in the oil pan.

Shut off the engine. Wait approximately five minutes to let the oil drain from the upper parts of the engine. Check the oil level again.

Add oil as necessary to bring the oil level to the “H” (High) mark on the dipstick.

IMPORTANT: Discard used engine oil according to local laws and regulations.
