NOTICE
Cummins highly recommends that any service or maintenance work be
performed by qualified technicians.
1. Before changing the oil, the generator set should be operated until the water
temperature is approximately 140 °F (60 °C).
2. Turn off the generator set.
3. Drain the oil.
4. Remove the oil filter, and clean the filter mounting surface on the engine block.
Remove the old gasket if it remains.
5. Make sure the gasket is in place on the new filter and apply a thin film of clean
oil to the gasket. Install the new filter until the gasket just touches the block.
Turn it an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do not over-tighten.
6. Close the oil drain valve.
7. Refill with oil until full.
NOTICE
Too much oil can cause high oil consumption. Too little oil can cause
severe engine damage. Keep the oil level between the High and Low
marks.
8. Operate generator set with no load to inspect for leaks at the lubricating oil filter
and the drain plug.
9. Confirm that the correct oil level is in the pan:
a. Shut the generator set off and wait 5 minutes.
b. Check the engine oil level.
10. Check and repair any leaks identified.
11. Dispose of the used oil and oil filter according to local environmental
