(4) Vertically up oil filter
Some oil filters may be installed vertically up. Use the
same procedure to replace the oil filter. Ensure that
all the oil has drained from the filter before removal.
Fill the Oil Pan
1. Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to this Operation
and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid
Recommendations” for more information on
suitable oils. Fill the oil pan with the correct
amount of new engine lubricating oil. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Refill
Capacities” for more information on refill
capacities.
NOTICE
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re-
mote filter system, follow the OEM or the filter manu-
factures recommendations. Under filling or over filling
the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.
2. Start the engine and run the engine at “LOW IDLE”
for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure to ensure
that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil
filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks.
3. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to
the oil pan for a minimum of 10 minutes.

level. Maintain the oil level between the MIN mark
and MAX mark on the engine oil level gauge. Do
not fill the crankcase above the MAX mark.
Engine Oil Service Reset
NOTICE
Failure to perform a schedule oil and filter service
with an engine oil service reset will trigger an engine
derate.
The low oil warning lamp has two functions. The lamp
on solid will indicate that the engine has low oil
pressure. The lamp flashing will indicate the engine
oil and filter MUST be changed and the engine oil
service reset MUST be completed. The lamp will only
flash with the key in the ON position, with the engine
in operation the lamp will be extinguished.
Note: If the engine oil and filter have been changed
before the warning lamp has started to flash, the
engine oil service reset procedure MUST still be
completed. Upon completion of the reset procedure,
the lamp will flash three times.
Some applications may have other methods to
perform an engine oil service reset. For assistance
with the engine oil service reset contact your Perkins
distributor, or your OEM.
Use one of the following procedures after the engine
oil and filter has been changed to complete an
engine oil service reset:
