30. Check the fluid levels as follows:
(a) Start the engine and allow it to heat to
operating temperature. Do not operate
engine for more than two minutes.
(b) Shut the engine off, wait for engine to
cool, and check the coolant level. Top it
off as required by adding coolant through
the overflow bottle.
(c) Be sure the engine oil level is within the
crosshatched area. If it is below the
crosshatched area, add a high quality
multi-grade motor oil equal to API, CD or
CE (severe duty diesel engine) specifica-
tions as outlined in paragraph 8B.8.
Engine crankcase capacity is 11.5 quarts
(10,9 liters) with a filter change.
(d) Check the transmission oil level. If it is
below the add mark, add MIL-L-2104C Oil
to bring it to the full mark on the dipstick.
Transmission capacity is 4.3 gallons (16,3
liters).

and core. Remove rear radiator cover for
access to radiator.
26. Install the transmission oil cooler on the rear
support and connect it to the transmission.
27. Fill the transmission as follows:
(a) Install a cleaned drain plug, screen and
gasket, Fig. 7.1, into the transmission
sump housing.
(b) Fill transmission with MIL-L-2104C Oil to
LOW mark on dipstick, Fig. 7.6.
28. Install the radiator cover.

8B.16 ENGINE STORAGE
Use the following procedures immediately when
engine is removed from service for an extended
period.
1. Clean outside of engine.
2. Where a preservative fuel is to be used, drain
the fuel system and fill with the preservative
fuel. If preservative fuel is not used, the
system can be kept charged with normal fuel
but this will have to be drained and discarded at
the end of the storage periods together with the
fuel filter.
3. Run the engine until it is warm. Correct any
fuel, lubricating oil or air leakage. Stop the
engine and drain the lubricating oil sump.
4. Replace the lubricating oil filter canister.
5. Fill the sump to the FULL mark on the dip stick
with clean new lubricating oil or with an ap-
proved preservative fluid. If a preservative fluid
is used, this must be drained and normal
lubricating oil used when the engine is returned
to service.
