Check the engine oil level using the dipstick
located on the right side of the engine. This
should be done after the engine has been turned
off and oil in the lubrication system has had time
to drain back into the oil pan.
Unscrew the dipstick handle, 1, and pull the
dipstick from the tube. The dipstick is marked to
show the minimum (L) and maximum (H) oil level
for the engine. If additional oil is needed in the
engine, unscrew the filler cap handle, 2, and add
oil as necessary. (N14 Engine Shown in
Illustration)
NOTE: The vehicle must be level when
checking the oil level.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the
oil level below the L (Low) mark or above the H
(High) mark. Wait at least five minutes after
shutting off the engine to check the oil. This
allows time for the oil to drain to the oil pan.
NOTE: The engine is filled with 10W-30 oil at
the factory. This weight oil aids in cold-
weather starting at the manufacturing
facility. SAE 15W-40 oil as listed is the
preferred viscosity oil for normal operation.
Buhler Versatile and Cummins Engine Co.
recommend the use of a high quality SAE
15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil with an API
classification of CE or CF-4 for most
applications. Contact your Buhler Versatile
dealer to obtain engine oil.
Additional information on engine oil use under
extreme conditions (hot or cold weather) can be
found in the Cummins Engine Manual provided
with the tractor.
