Oil Level Low

TM 5-3835-222-BD

Procedural Steps:

1. Check oil level.

2. Obtain enough engine oil or substitue to overfill crankcase.

3. Overfill the crankcase.

Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is completed, as soon as practicable, repair the

equipment using standard maintenance procedures.

WARNING

DO NOT dilute lubricating oil with gasoline. Personal injury or death

or death may occur.

4-17. Oil Level Low. Oil levels can become low because of leakage or burning the oil through

normal engine operation. If oils prescribed by the LO are not available, use substitutes listed in

Appendix D. Oils other than those designed for use in engines will provide only limited lubrication.

When using diesel fuel, do not dilute the lubrication oil more than approximately 3 parts diesel fuel

to 1 part engine oil except in extreme emergencies. Operate at a slower engine speed to prevent

damage to the engine.
