Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. Therefore allow the engine to
cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Attach the clamp on the oil drainage hose. Use
a polygrip or similar. See fig. (21:V).
2. Move the clamp up 3-4 cm on the oil drainage
hose and pull out the plug.
3. Collect the oil in a collection vessel.
NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.
4. Hand in the oil for disposal in accordance with
local provisions.
5. Install the oil drainage plug and move the clamp
back so that it clamps above the plug.
6. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil volume: 1.4 litres
7. After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle
for 30 seconds.
8. Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
9. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level in accordance with 7.2
Checking the engine oil level.

front axle are intact. See fig. 23. Reinstall the
plugs. Tightening torque: 15-17 Nm.
The oil plug will be damaged if it is
tightened more to than 5 Nm.
9. Check that the gasket on the oil plug of the rear
axle is intact. See fig. (22:Y). Reinstall in the

topped up. Air must never be drawn in.
5. Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position
by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig.
25. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.
6. Run in the forward position for one minute.
7. Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator
pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling
with oil.
