2.12  ENGINE OIL LEVEL 
 
 
MAINTENANCE 
Check the oil level daily with the engine 
stopped.  If the engine has just been stopped 
and is warm, wait at least 10 minutes to allow 
the oil to drain back to the oil pan before 
checking. Wipe the dipstick clean then check 
oil level. The level should always be within the 
safe range on the dipstick (Fig. 17). Add the 
proper grade of oil to maintain the correct level 
on the dipstick.  All diesel engines are 
designed to consume some oil, so a periodic 
addition of oil is normal. 
 
 
WARNING 
Touching a hot engine can cause serious 
burns. 
 
 
CAUTION 
Do not overfill. Oil may be blown out through 
the crankcase breather if the crankcase is 
overfilled. 
 
 
CAUTION 
Clean end of tube before removing the dipstick 
to prevent oil contamination.

CAUTION 
If the oil level is constantly above normal and 
excess lube oil has not been added to the 
crankcase, consult with an authorized Detroit 
Diesel service outlet for the cause.  Fuel or 
coolant dilution of lube oil can result in serious 
engine damage. 
The vehicle is provided with an oil reserve tank 
with a capacity of 2.2 US gallons (8,3 liters). 
This reserve tank is connected to the crankcase 
by a hose with a shutoff valve, allowing oil to be 
added to crankcase. To adjust oil level, open the 
oil reserve tank shutoff valve and allow oil to 
discharge into the engine until the "Full" mark on 
the dipstick is reached then close the valve. 
Check oil reserve tank level and pour oil in the 
reserve tank if necessary (Fig. 18). Comparison 
of oil levels in sight gauge, before and after 
adding oil to crankcase, shows approximately 
how much oil has been added.
