ISC, ISCe, QSC8.3, ISL, ISLe3, ISLe4 and QSL9 Engines – 007-013   Lubricating Oil Filter (Spin-On)

Remove the oil plugs from the lubricating oil cooler housing at the filter inlet and outlet pressure ports and install manual gauges.

The following parts, or equivalent, are available for use:

CAUTION  Use caution when replacing filters that oil is not spilled or drained into the bilge area. Do not drop or throw filter elements into the bilge area. The oil and oil filters must be discarded in accordance with local environmental regulations.

Clean the area around the lubricating oil filter head.

Use oil filter wrench, Part Number 3375049, to remove the lubricating oil filter.

Clean the gasket surface of the filter head with a clean lint-free cloth.

CAUTION  The lubricating oil filter should be full of oil at start-up to prevent engine damage.

Use clean 15W-40 oil to coat the gasket surface of the filter.

Fill the filter with clean 15W-40 oil.

NOTE: Lubricating oil filters must have a filter bypass valve. Using a lubricating oil filter without a filter bypass valve will result in low engine oil pressure if the filter becomes plugged.

Lubricating oil filter recommendations are provided. Refer to Procedure 018-024 in Section V.

CAUTION  Mechanical overtightening of the filter can distort the threads or damage the filter element seal.

Install the filter on the oil filter head. Tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the filter head surface.

Use an oil filter wrench to tighten the filter. See the filter manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the filter.

CAUTION  If no oil pressure is noted within 15 seconds after the engine is started, shut down the engine to reduce the possibility of internal engine damage.

NOTE: Confirm that the oil pan has the correct oil level.

Operate the engine and check for leaks.
