This information is for maintenance and oil change for MTU engines in models 4R1000, 6R1000, 1100, 1300
and 1500.

1.     1.In the case of oil change and filter. We recommend changing every 700 hours according to the MB228.31 standard or if you want to use the equivalent engine oil. Can use engine oil according to MB228.51 standard by having to change engine oil and filter at the same time by checking the oil condition and filter can be checked with the naked eye.

2.     2.Due to the operation of the diesel engine system, it is necessary to use engine oil to lubricate the system parts of the engine. It also helps in cooling, including Wash away the dirt that is caused by burning. To be able to work efficiently. If customers switch to low quality engine oil may affect the engine in long-term use and cause the engine can’t work efficiently

3.     3.In the case of choosing an oil viscosity grade, it is important. Because each country has a different climate, we are recommended to use the viscosity grade of the engine oil in accordance dependent by weather condition each country. To allow the engine to run at full capacity.
