L566 - 460 / from 14171
Maintenance tasks
3.5.8 Changing the diesel engine oil filter

Make sure that:
– The engine oil has been drained off.
– A strap wrench and a suitable container are in place.
– Only use genuine LIEBHERR spare parts (2 oil filter cartridges).
Procedure
• Place a suitable container under the diesel engine.
Note
Protect the V-ribbed-belt against emerging oil when changing the oil
filter cartridge.
! After changing the oil filter, remove all traces of oil on the diesel engine,
also behind the vibration damper so that this is not diagnosed as a leak
in the leakage in the radial shaft seal at a later stage.
• Release the filter cartridges 1 with a strap wrench and unscrew them.
• Clean the seals on the filter bracket.
• Lightly coat the rubber gaskets on the new oil filter cartridges with
engine oil.
• Screw on the new oil filter cartridge until the sealing ring touches the
filter bracket.
• When the sealing ring touches the filter bracket:
Tighten the oil filter cartridge by a half to three-quarter turn. (Do not use a
tool for tightening).
• Start the diesel engine:
Check the oil pressure in the engine oil pressure display (see
LBH/Version 01/10.2006/en/hd/22/02/2007
display unit).
• Shut down the diesel engine:
Check the seals on the oil filters and the oil level.
• After 2 to 3 minutes, check the oil level on the dipstick.
