LUBRICATION SYSTEM: this procedure must be
carried out together with the injection system protection
procedure.
GB
• Using the oil dipstick and check whether there is engi-
ne oil in the sump.
• Drain the oil from the sump.
• Fill the engine with Petronas PROT 30 M protective oil.
• Check the coolant level (for water-cooled engines
only). The coolant mixture must be 50% demineralised
or distilled water and 50% Petronas Paraflu Up (protec-
tive radiator fluid with monoethylene glycol and organic
inhibitor formulation complying with ASTM D 3306 type
1 Standards).
• Start up the engine and run it until it reaches the right
temperature for water-cooled engines (about 70°- 80°C);
for air-cooled engines, run the engine for about 20
(twenty) minutes.
• With the engine up to temperature, carry on for about 5
minutes so that the system components are lubricated.
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down.
• Drain the oil from the sump.
• Drain off the coolant.
• Check for any fluid leakage (and make any necessary
repairs).
• Disconnect the engine from all the components used
for the test.
INJECTION SYSTEM: this procedure must be carried
out together with the lubrication system protection pro-
cedure.
• Make sure there are no deposits or sediments in the
fuel tank.
• Prepare a mixture of diesel fuel complying with the
DIN EN 590 specifications, and Petronas DIESEL TMF
PLUS additive. The ratio must be at least 1:400 (1 litre
of additive to 400 litres of fuel). If you use Biodiesel
(complying with the UNI EN 14214 specifications), it
must be mixed with diesel fuel up to 5%;
Important: Important
VM MOTORI STELLANTIS EUROPE, however, re-
commends the use of diesel without Biodiesel.
Important: Important
The use of any other fuel is forbidden.
English
• Fill the tank with this fuel mixture.
• Where relevant, check there is no interference
between the radiator fan blades and the relative air duct.
Start up the engine and run it until it reaches the right
temperature for water-cooled engines (about 70°- 80°C);
for air-cooled engines, run the engine for about 20
(twenty) minutes.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Check for any fluid leakage (and make any necessary
repairs).
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down.
SEAWATER SYSTEM (for marine engines and on-board
auxiliary units only): this procedure must be carried out
together with the injection system protection procedure.
• Connect the seawater intake of the seawater pump to
an auxiliary tank containing a mixture of 40% freshwater
and 60% Petronas Paraflu Up (protective radiator fluid
with monoethylene glycol and organic inhibitor formu-
lation complying with ASTM D 3306 type 1 Standards),
making sure it seeps out from the drainage point.
• Check for any fluid leakage (and make any necessary
repairs).
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down.
• Disconnect the engine from all the components used
for the test
