Maintenance – Fuels and lubricants
8.3 Fuels and lubricants

8.3.1 Engine oil
8.3.1.1 Oil quality
Engine oils for use in DEUTZ engines are classified in DEUTZ
Engine Oil Quality Classes (DQC).
The following engine oil specifications are permitted:
n Engine oils as per DQC III-10 or DQC IV-10.
Avoid mixing engine oils.
The list of approved engine oils is also available on the

Internet under the following address:
www.deutz.com

DEUTZ Quality Class \ DQC Freigabeliste
en SERVICE \ Maintenance \ Operating Liquids\ Oils \
DEUTZ Quality Class \ DQC Release List
130 BC 473 EB-3

8.3.1.2 Oil viscosity

Since engine oil changes its viscosity with the temperature, the
ambient temperature at the operating location of the engine is of
utmost importance when choosing the viscosity class (SAE-class).
Only use multi-purpose oils.
The temperature indications of the SAE-class always refer to fresh
oils. In travel operation engine oil ages because of soot and fuel
residues. This adversely affects the properties of the engine oil,
especially under low ambient temperatures.
Optimal operating conditions can be achieved by using the oil vis-
cosity chart as a reference.
Fig. 165: Oil viscosity diagram
8.3.1.3 Oil change intervals

If the oil change intervals are not reached over a period of one
year, the oil change should be performed at least 1 x per year, irre-
spective of the operating hours reached.
The oil change interval must be halved if at least one of the fol-
lowing conditions applies:
n Permanent ambient temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F)
n Engine oil temperatures below 60 °C (84 °F).
n Sulphur content in fuel exceeding 0.5 %
8.3.2 Fuel
8.3.2.1 Fuel quality
You should preferably use commercial diesel fuel with a sulphur
content of less than 0.5 %.
When using a diesel fuel with a high sulphur content of 0.5 % to
1.0 % the oil change intervals must be halved.
Fuels with a sulphur content of more than 1.0 % are not permitted.
BC 473 EB-3 131

In order to fulfil national emission regulations one must strictly use

the legally required fuels (e.g. sulphur content).
The following fuel specifications are recommended:
n EN 590
n ASTM D975 Grade-No. 1-D and 2-D
n JIS K 2204 Grade Fuel 1 and Grade Fuel 2 with lubrication
properties acc. to EN 590
8.3.2.2 Winter fuel

For winter operation use only winter diesel fuel, to avoid clogging
because of paraffin separation.
At very low temperatures disturbing paraffin separation can also be
expected when using winter diesel fuel.
Diesel fuels suitable for temperatures down to -44 °C (-47 °F) are
available for Arctic climates.
NOTICE!
– The admixture of petroleum and the addition of
“flow enhancing additives” (fuel additives) is
not permitted.
8.3.2.3 Storage
Even traces of zinc, lead and copper can cause deposits in the
injection nozzles, especially in modern Common-Rail injection sys-
tems.
Zinc and lead coatings in refuelling systems and fuel lines are not
permitted.
Copper containing materials (copper lines, brass items) should be
avoided, because they can cause catalytic reactions in the fuel with
subsequent depositing in the injection system.
8.3.3 Coolant
8.3.3.1 General
For fluid cooled engines the cooling fluid must be prepared by
admixing a cooling system protection agent to the fresh water and
should be checked within the specified maintenance intervals.
This prevents damage caused by corrosion, cavitation, freezing
and overheating.
132 BC 473 EB-3

8.3.3.2 Water quality

The correct quality of water is highly important when preparing
coolant. Clear and clean water within the boundaries of the fol-
lowing analysis values should generally be used.
Analysis values
pH-value at 20 °C (68 °F) 6.5 - 8.5
Chlorine-ion content max. 100 mg/l
Sulphate ion content max. 100 mg/l
Water hardness (ion content of max. 3.56 mmol/l
calcium and magnesium )
max: 356 mg/l (ppm)
Germ degree: max. 20 °dH
English degree: max: 25 °eH
French degree: max: 35.6 °fH
Bacteria, fungi, yeasts not permitted
Information concerning the water quality can be obtained from the

waterworks.
If the fresh water analysis values are unknown, these must be
determined with the help of a water analysis.
If the values of the analysis deviate, the water must be treated
accordingly:
pH-value too low - Adding of caustic lye of soda or caustic
potash solution.
Water hardness too - Mix with soft, distilled or fully demineral-
high ized water
Chlorides and/or sul- - Mix with distilled or fully demineralized
phates too high water
NOTICE!
– Another analysis must be made after the fresh
water has been prepared.
8.3.3.3 Cooling system protection agent

As a protection against frost, corrosion and boiling point anti-freeze
agents must be used under any climatic conditions.
Coolant is prepared by adding an ethylene-glycol based anti-freeze
agent with corrosion inhibiting properties to the cooling water.
We therefore highly recommend our BOMAG cooling system pro-
tection agent.
BC 473 EB-3 133

If our cooling system protection agent is not available for any

important reasons, you may, in exceptional cases, use products
that have been approved by the engine manufacturer.
The list of approved lubrication oils is also available in the

Internet under the following address:

Coolant
Products of the same product group (see Deutz Technical Circular

Cooling System Protection Agents) can be mixed with each other.
The BOMAG cooling system protection agent corresponds with
product group A.
NOTICE!
– Do not mix different coolants and additives of
any other kind.
– Before changing the product you must clean
the entire cooling system.
– Consult our customer service if in doubt.
– The cooling system protection agent must be
used all year round, to provide adequate corro-
sion protection.
The mixing ratio must not be below or exceed the following

value:
Cooling system Fresh water Cold protection
protection agent down to
min. 35% 65% -22 °C (-8 °F)
40% 60% -28 °C (-18 °F)
45% 55% -35 °C (-31 °F)
max. 50% 50% -41 °C (-42 °F)
NOTICE!
– A proportion of more than 50% of cooling
system protection agent causes a drop in
cooling power.
– The use of corrosion protection oils as cooling
system protection agents is not permitted.
134 BC 473 EB-3

8.3.4 Hydraulic oil

8.3.4.1 Mineral oil based hydraulic oil
The hydraulic system is operated with hydraulic oil HV 46 (ISO)
with a kinematic viscosity of 46 mm2/s at 40 °C (104 °F) and
8 mm2/s at 100 °C (212 °F).
For topping up or for oil changes use only hydraulic oil, type HVLP
according to DIN 51524, part 3, or hydraulic oils type HV according
to ISO 6743/3.
The viscosity index (VI) should be at least 150 (observe informa-
tion of manufacturer).
8.3.4.2 Bio-degradable hydraulic oil

The hydraulic system can also be operated with a synthetic ester
based biodegradable hydraulic oil.
The biologically quickly degradable hydraulic oil Panolin HLP
Synth.46 meets all demands of a mineral oil based hydraulic oil
according to DIN 51524.
In hydraulic systems filled with Panolin HLP Synth.46 always use
the same oil to top up.
When changing from mineral oil based hydraulic oil to an ester
based biologically degradable hydraulic oil, you should consult the
lubrication oil service of the oil manufacturer, or our customer
service for details.
NOTICE!
Danger of damage to the hydraulic system!
– After the changeover check the hydraulic oil fil-
ters increasingly for contamination.
– Have regular oil analyses performed regarding
the water content and mineral oil.
– Replace the hydraulic oil filter at the latest after
500 operating hours.
8.3.5 Gear oil SAE 80W-140

Use a fully synthetic gear oil in accordance with SAE 80W-140,
API GL5 with a kinematic viscosity of at least 20 mm2/s at 100 °C
(212 °F).
It is a hypoid lubricant of highest quality class for transmissions
under extreme strain.

Maintenance – As required
8.11 As required
8.11.1 Checking, cleaning the water separator
The service intervals for the water separator

depend on the water content in the fuel and can
therefore not be determined precisely.
After taking the engine into operation you should
check the filter bowl for signs of water and dirt ini-
tially every day, later as required.
If a too high quantity is drained off, the filter needs
to be bled.

n Protective gloves
1. If the “water in fuel” warning light lights up when starting or
during operation, drain the water from the fuel pre-filter
immediately.
Fig. 230
3. Slacken the drain plug for a few turns and collect leaking
fluid.
4. Turn the drain plug tightly back in. Check for leaks, if neces-
sary use a new seal ring.
ð Once the water separator is empty, the warning light for
water in fuel must go out.
5. Bleed the fuel system Ä Chapter 8.7.2.4 „Bleeding the fuel
system“ on page 146 if necessary.
6. Dispose of collected fluid in an environmentally friendly way.

8.11.2 Air filter maintenance
NOTICE!
– Do not start the engine after having removed
the air filter.
– If necessary, the air filter may be cleaned up to
six times. After one year at the latest it must be
replaced together with the safety element.
– Cleaning does not make sense if the air filter
element is covered with a sooty deposit.
– Do not use gasoline or hot fluids to clean the
filter element.
– After cleaning, the air filter must be inspected
for damage using a torch.
– Do not continue to use a damaged air filter ele-
ment. If in doubt use a new air filter.
– If the air filter is damaged, the safety element
must be replaced as well.
– The safety element must not be cleaned.
We generally recommend to renew the air filter. A

new filter element is far less expensive than a pos-
sible engine damage.

n Protective gloves
n Safety goggles
1. Maintenance of the air filter is due when the air filter warning
light lights up, but at the latest after one year.
