MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Oil
Maintain the engine oil at the proper level to ensure a properly
functioning engine, and change the oil and oil filter every 100 hours or
every six months, whichever comes first. Dirt and metal particles
collect in the oil, and oil loses its lubricative quality if used too long.
Suggested break-in oil change is at 25 hours, or one month, whichever
comes first. Severe use operation requires more frequent service.
Severe use includes continuous duty in dusty or wet conditions, and
cold weather operation. NOTE: Severe use/cold weather operation is
when all operating is at below 10° F. and/or when operating between
10° F and 30°F if most trips are slow speed and less than five miles.
Always change the oil filter when changing oil.
Oil Check (RANGER 2x4, 4x4, 6x6)
The oil tank is located under the
seat.
1. Position the vehicle on a
level surface.
2. Start the engine and let it
idle for 20-30 seconds.
3. Stop the engine and remove
the seat as described on page
29.
4. Remove the dipstick (1) and
wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
5. Replace the dipstick and
screw it in completely.
NOTE: The dipstick must
be screwed in completely
to keep the angle and depth
of the stick consistent.
6. Remove the dipstick and check to see that the oil level is between
the full and add marks (2). Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
NOTE: A rising oil level between checks in cool weather driving can
indicate moisture collecting in the oil reservoir. If the oil level is above
the full mark, change the oil.
