Engine oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-21–8-31.)CAUTION:_

the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than spec-
ified. In addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
