Maintenance and service parts

Engine oil Part number: ED0053029490; Interval: 600 hr; Specification: Place engine on level surface to ensure accurate measurement of oil level.; Capacity: 8.9 l
Oil filter Interval: 600 hr; Specification: Remove the oil dipstick B. Remove the oil drain plug D and the gasket E (the oil drain plug is on both sides of the oil sump). Drain oil in an appropriate container.
Fuel filter Interval: 600 hr; Specification: Replace the fuel filter
Air filter Interval: 1000 hr; Specification: Replace with a new filter
Coolant Interval: 5000 hr; Specification: Top liquid up until the pipes inside the radiator are covered by about 5 mm. Do not overfill the radiator, but leave room for the coolant to expand.
Belt Interval: 1500 hr; Specification: Check by the appropriate tool that at point p the tension value is between 80 and 85 Hz. Using the tool F (DENSO BTG-2 or a similar one) shown in the picture, it is possible to check the corresponding value in Newtons, which should be between 350 and 450 N.
