3.3 Lubrication System

See Section 3.2, Service Schedule, for oil change and

oil filter replacement intervals. See Section 1.5 for the

oil drain, oil check, oil fill, and oil filter locations.

For extended operation, check the oil level every 8

hours. Maintain the oil level at or near, not over, the full

mark on the dipstick.

3.3.1

Low Oil Pressure Shutdown

The low oil pressure shutdown feature protects the

engine against internal damage if the oil pressure drops

below 24.1 kPa ±13.8 kPa (3.5 psi ±1.5 psi) because of

oil pump failure or other malfunction. The shutdown

feature does not protect against damage caused by

operating with the oil level below the safe range; it is not

a low oil level shutdown. Check the oil level regularly,

and add oil as needed.

3.3.2

Oil Check

The generator set is shipped with oil. Before operating a

new generator set, check the engine oil in the

crankcase.

See

Section 1.5,

Components. Verify that the oil level is at the F mark on

the dipstick. Add oil that has a viscosity appropriate for

the

climate.

See

Recommendation.

Do not check the oil level when the generator set is

running. Shut down the generator set and wait several

minutes before checking the oil level.

3.3.3

Engine Oil Recommendation

Use API (American Petroleum Institute) Service Class

SG, SH, or SJ synthetic oil. Synthetic oil oxidizes and

thickens less than other oils and leaves the engine

intake valves and pistons cleaner. Select the viscosity

based on the air temperature at the time of operation.
