7. Install filter and tighten until sealing ring contacts
mounting surface, then tighten an additional 3/4

gallons) of fresh oil of the grade and viscosity
prescribed in the “Specification” section.

10. Remove the fuel solenoid relay, 1, (second from
the bottom) from the main distribution panel. This
will prevent the engine from starting.
11. Crank the engine for 20 seconds. Wait one
minute. Repeat the procedure two more times.
IMPORTANT: Cranking the engine provides lubrica-
tion to the turbocharger and engine before starting
which will extend engine life.
12. Reinstall the fuel solenoid relay, 1, and “B” pillar
cover.
13. Run the engine at idle for 3 minutes, then stop the
engine.
14. Check drain plug and oil filter areas for leaks.
15. Wait 5 minutes to allow oil to drain into the
crankcase, then check the oil level on the
dipstick, 2. The oil level should be in the
crosshatched area, 3, Figure 53.
16. Add new oil as required until the oil level is in the
crosshatched area.
NOTE: Do not fill above the upper line of the
crosshatched area. Excessive oil will be burned off
within a short time and give a false impression of oil
consumption.
Oil Specification: API CF-4
Refer to the “Specification” section for the correct
oil viscosity.
