in air pressure due to an air cleaner element restric-
tion moves the diaphragm and the yellow disc will
indicate the size of the air drop.
CAUTION: Certain engine degreasers or cleaners
may discolor or damage the plastic housing of the
Filter Minder. Cover and tape the Filter Minder if any
engine degreasers or cleaners are to be used.
To test, turn the engine off. If the yellow disc (Fig.
12) has reached the red colored zone on the gradu-
ated scale, the air cleaner element should be
replaced. Refer to the proceeding removal/installation
paragraphs.
Resetting the Filter Minder:After the air
cleaner (filter) element has been replaced, press the
rubber button on the top of the Filter Minder (Fig.
12). This will allow the yellow colored disc to reset.
After the button has been pressed, the yellow disc
should spring back to the UP position.
If the Filter Minder gauge has reached the red col-
ored zone, and after an examination of the air
cleaner (filter) element, the element appears to be
clean, the high reading may be due to a temporary
condition such as snow build-up at the air intake.
Temporary high restrictions may also occur if the air
cleaner (filter) element has gotten wet such as during
a heavy rain or snow. If this occurs, allow the ele-
ment to dry out during normal engine operation.
Reset the rubber button on the top of the Filter
Minder and retest after the element has dried.Removal
(1) Loosen air inlet tube clamp at air cleaner hous-
ing inlet (Fig. 11). Remove this tube at air cleaner
housing cover.
(2) The housing cover is equipped with four (4)
spring clips (Fig. 11) and is hinged at front with plas-
tic tabs. Unlatch clips from top of air cleaner housing
and tilt housing cover up and forward for cover
removal.
(3) Remove air cleaner element from air cleaner
housing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Before installing a new air cleaner element,
clean inside of air cleaner housing.
(2) Position air cleaner cover to tabs on front of air
cleaner housing. Latch four spring clips to seal cover
to housing.
(3) Install air inlet tube at air cleaner housing
inlet. Note hose alignment notches at both inlet hose
and air cleaner cover (Fig. 11).
(4) Position tube clamp to inlet tube and tighten to
3 N´m (25 in. lbs.) torque.

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Refer to (Fig. 148) and (Fig. 149) for circuit
illustrations.
A gear driven gerotor type oil pump is mounted
behind the front gear cover in the lower right portion
on the engine.
OPERATION
A gerotor style oil pump draws oil from the crank-
case through the suction tube and delivers it through
the block where it enters the oil cooler cover and
pressure regulator valve. When oil pressure exceeds
449 kPa (65 PSI), the valve opens exposing the dump
port, which routes excess oil back to the oil sump.
At the same time, oil is directed to a cast in pas-
sage in the oil cooler cover, leading to the oil cooler
element. As the oil travels through the element
plates, it is cooled by engine coolant traveling past
the outside of the plates. It is then routed to the oil
filter head and through a full flow oil filter. If a
plugged filter is encountered, the filter by-pass valve
opens, allowing unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine.
This condition can be avoided by frequent oil and fil-
ter changes, per the maintenance schedules found in
the owners manual. The by-pass valve is calibrated
to open when it sees a pressure drop of more than
344 kPa (50 psi) across the oil filter.The oil filter head then divides the oil between the
engine and the turbocharger. The turbocharger
receives filtered, cooled and pressurized oil through a
supply line from the filter head. The oil lubricates
the turbocharger and returns to the pan by way of a
drain tube connecting the bottom of the turbocharger
to a pressed in tube in the cylinder block.
Oil is then carried across the block to an angle
drilling which intersects the main oil rifle. The main
oil rifle runs the length of the block and delivers oil
to the crankshaft main journals and valve train. Oil
travels to the crankshaft through a series of transfer
drillings (one for each main bearing) and lubricates a
groove in the main bearing upper shell. From there
another drilling feeds the camshaft main journals.
The piston cooling nozzles are also supplied by the
main bearing upper shell. Crankshaft internal cross-
drillings supply oil to the connecting rod journals.
Another series of transfer drillings intersecting the
main oil rifle supply the valve train components. Oil
travels up the drilling, through a hole in the head
gasket, and through a drilling in the cylinder head
(one per cylinder), where it enters the rocker arm
pedestal and is divided between the intake and
exhaust rocker arm. Oil travels up and around the
rocker arm mounting bolt, and lubricates the rocker
shaft by cross drillings that intersect the mounting
bolt hole. Grooves at both ends of the rocker shaft
supply oil through the rocker arm where the oil trav-
els to the push rod and socket balls (Fig. 148) and
(Fig. 149).

²Milky discoloration indicates coolant dilution.
(4) Clean the area around the oil filter head.
Remove the filter (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICA-
TION/OIL FILTER - REMOVAL).
(5) Install new oil filter (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LU-
BRICATION/OIL FILTER - INSTALLATION).
(6) Clean the drain plug and the sealing surface of
the pan. Check the condition of the threads and seal-
ing surface on the oil pan and drain plug.
(7) Install the drain plug. Tighten the plug to 60
N´m (44 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Use only High-Quality Multi-Viscosity lubricat-
ing oil in the Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. Choose
the correct oil for the operating conditions (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES -
DESCRIPTION).
(9) Fill the engine with the correct grade of new oil
(Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID
CAPACITIES - SPECIFICATIONS).
(10) Start the engine and operate it at idle for sev-
eral minutes. Check for leaks at the filter and drain
plug.
(11) Stop engine. Wait several minutes to allow the
oil to drain back to the pan and check the level
again.
USED ENGINE OIL DISPOSAL Care should be
exercised when disposing of used engine oil after
it has been drained from a vehicle's engine.
