Oil Cooler
- The oil cooler is held with four bolts in the brackets
welded to the frame of the water radiator. Remove the oil cooler
from the vehicle,
wash it with a degreasing solvent, then with hot water, and check it for tightness. The tightness check should be conducted under air pressure
of 4 Kg/Sq. cm in a water
bath. Soldering to leaky
point with soft solder should
eliminate the discovered leak. Minor defects
of radiator frame can be fixed by welding
with subsequent dressing. The number of blocked
tubes should not be exceeding
more than three.
Replenishment of Engine Oil
- For changing the oil, warm up the engine and drain the engine oil by opening the drain plug. After draining the engine oil tighten the drain plug. Pour the light
flushing oil in the engine.
Run the engine
for few minutes
with the flushing oil in the sump, then stop the engine and drain the flushing oil. Never use kerosene
or gasoline for flushing purpose
because of their
low viscosity. Finally
tighten the drain plug and refill with fresh lubricating oil of suitable
specifications as recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle.

| Replacing of Engine Oil |
After filling the engine oil, run the engine at medium speed until the lubricating
system is filled with oil. Then stop the engine and wait for oil to settle down. Pull and
wipe out the oil dipstick, insert it all the way back and pull out again. Determine
the oil level by the marks
on the dipstick. The oil level should be at the height of the top
mark of the dipstick.
