OIL
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CAUTION: Do not overfill crankcase with engine
oil, oil foaming and oil pressure loss can result.
To ensure proper lubrication of an engine, the engine
oil must be maintained at an acceptable level. The
acceptable oil level is in the SAFE RANGE (3) on the
engine oil dipstick.
1. Position vehicle on level surface.
2. With engine OFF, allow approximately 15 minutes
for oil to settle to bottom of crankcase, remove
engine oil dipstick.
3. Wipe dipstick clean.
4. Replace dipstick and verify it is seated in the tube.
5. Remove dipstick, with handle held above the tip, take oil level reading.
6. Add oil only if level is below the SAFE RANGE area on the dipstick.
7. Replace dipstick.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE OIL SERVICE
WARNING: HOT OIL CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: Change engine oil and filter at intervals specified in the owner’s manual.
1. Operate the engine until the water temperature reaches 60°C (140°F). Shut the engine off.
2. Use a container that can hold at least 14 liters (15 quarts) to hold the used oil. Remove the oil drain plug and
drain the used engine oil into the container.
3. Always check the condition of the used oil. This can give you an indication of engine problems that might exist.
Thin, black oil indicates fuel dilution.
Milky discoloration indicates coolant dilution.
4. Clean the area around the oil filter head. Remove the filter (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL FILTER -
REMOVAL).
5. Install new oil filter (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL FILTER - INSTA L L AT I O N ) .
6. Clean the drain plug and the sealing surface of the pan. Check the condition of the threads and sealing surface
on the oil pan and drain plug.
7. Install the drain plug. Tighten the plug to 50 Nꞏm (37 ft. lbs.) torque.
8. Use only High-Quality Multi-Viscosity lubricating 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 several minutes. Check for leaks at the filter and drain plug.
11. Stop engine. Wait 15 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 beendrained from a vehicle’s engine.

VALVE - OIL PRESSURE RELIEF
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery negative cables.
2. Remove the threaded plug (2), spring (4) and valve
(5). Insert a finger or a seal pick to lift the plunger
from the bore.
NOTE: If the plunger is stuck in the bore, it will be
necessary to remove the filter head.
CLEANING
1. Clean the regulator spring and plunger with a suitable solvent and blow dry with compressed air. If the plunger
bore requires cleaning, it is necessaryto remove the oil filter head to avoid getting debris into the engine.
INSPECTION
Inspect the plunger and plunger bore for cracks and
excessive wear. Polished surfaces are acceptable.
Verify that the plunger moves freely in the bore.
Check the spring for height and load limitations.
Replace the spring if out of limits shown in the figure.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the plunger, spring, and plug as shown in. Tighten the plug to 80 Nꞏm (59 ft. lbs.) torque.
2. Connect the battery negative cables.
3. Start the engine and verify that it has oil pressure.

SWITCH - OIL PRESSURE
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery negative cables.
2. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.
3. Usingasuitablesocket,removetheoil pressure switch from the block (counter-clockwise).
INSTALLATION
1. If the switch is not being replaced, replace and lubricate the o-ring.
2. Install the oil pressure switch and tighten to 18 Nꞏm (159 in. lbs.) torque.
3. Connect oil pressure switch connector.
4. Connect the battery negative cables.
5. Start engine and check for oil leaks at the switch.

7. Measure the clearance of the gerotor drive/gerotor
planetary (2)to port plate (1). Maximum clearance
is 0.127 mm (0.005 inch). If the oil pump is out of
limits, replace the pump.
8. Measure the clearance of the gerotor planetary to
the body bore (1). Maximum clearance is 0.381
mm (0.015 inch). If the oil pump is out of limits,
replace the pump.
9. Measure the gears backlash (3,4). The limits of a
used pump is 0.15- 0.25 mm (0.006-0.010 inch). If
the backlash is out of limits, replace the oil pump.
10. Install the back plate.
INSTALLATION
1. Lubricate the pump withclean engine oil. Filling the
pump with clean engine oil during installation will
help to prime the pump at engine start up.
2. Install the pump. Verify the idler gear pin is
installed in the locating bore in the cylinder block.
Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts in two steps, in
the sequence shown in.
Step 1—Tighten to 8 Nꞏm (71 in. lbs.) torque.
Step 2—Tighten to 24 Nꞏm (18 ft. lbs.) torque.

3. The back plate on the pump seats against the bot-
tom of the bore in the cylinder block. When the
pump is correctly installed, the flange on the pump
will not touch the cylinder block.
4. Measure the idler gear to pump drive gear back-
lash and the idler gear to crankshaft gear backlash.
The backlash should be 0.15- 0.25 mm
(0.006-0.010 inch). If the backlash is out of limits,
replace the oil pump.
5. If the adjoining gear moves when you measure the
backlash, the reading will be incorrect.
6. Apply a bead of Mopar
Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equivalent to the gear housing cover sealing sur-
face.
7. Install the gear housing cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/GEAR HOUSING COVER - INSTALLA-
TION).
8. Install the vibration damper (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER - INSTALLATION) and
speed indicator ring.
9. Install the fan support/hub assemblyRefer to (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN - INSTALLA-
TION)
10. Install power steering pump.
11. Install accessory drive belt tensioner. Torque bolt to 43 Nꞏm (32 ft. lbs.).
12. Install the accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS - INSTALLATION).
13. Install the cooling fan (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN - INSTALLATION).
14. Connect battery negative cables.
15. Start engine and check for oil leaks.
