E. Cautions
Use only specified Engine Oil (approved by MB Sheet 229.51) for CDPF. -
Use only specified engine oil (Low Ash Oil) ▶
The vehicle equipped with CDPF should use specific engine oil to improve the engine performance
and fuel economy, and ensure the service life of CDPF. -
Issue with normal engine oil ▶
Sulfur, one of the contents of engine oil is burned and generates soot that is not regenerated by the
DPF. This remains on the filter as ashes and keeps accumulating. Eventually, this ashes will block
the filter. -
Benefit for specified engine oil ▶
Minimized the sulfur content of engine oil which reduces the service life.
Improved fuel economy and emission level of CO2 with high performance and low viscosity.
Increased service life of engine oil with high resistance to temperature. -
-
-
Problems when using unspecified engine oil ▶
The service life of filter may be reduced by 30% or more by the ashes accumulated on the filter.
The fuel economy may be reduced because of engine rolling resistance, frequent regeneration of
DPF. -
-
These problems are also caused by oil with high sulfur content, such as tax exemption oil and
heating oil, etc. *

1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Cleanliness and Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with
tolerances that are measured in the ten-thousanths of an inch.
When any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important.
A liberal coating of enigne oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly, to protect and lubricate
the surfaces on initial operation. Proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas
is part of the repair procedure.
This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for service, they should be kept in order. They should be
installed in the same locations, and with the same mating surfaces, as when they were removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts.

4. DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
1) Oil Leak Diagnosis
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visually finding the leak and replacing or repairing
the necessary parts. On some occasions a fluid leak may be difficult to locate or repair. The following
procedures may help you in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak ▶
Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, power steering
fluid, etc.
Identify where the fluid is leaking from. -
-
After running the vehicle at normal operating temperature, park the vehicle over a large sheet
of paper.
Wait a few minutes.
You should be able to find the approximate location of the leak by the drippings on the paper. ·
·
·
Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks in
areas that are hard to reach.
If the leak still cannot be found, it may be necessary to clean the suspected area with a
degreaser, steam or spray solvent. -
-
Clean the area well.
Dry the area.
Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal operating temperature and varying speeds.
After operating the vehicle, visually check the suspected component.
If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the powder or black light and dye method. ·
·
·
·
·
Clean the suspected area.
Apply an aerosol-type powder (such as foot powder) to the suspected area.
Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditoins.
Visually inspect the suspected component. You should be able to trace the leak path over the
white powder surface to the source. -
-
-
- Powder Method ▶

01-10
Black Light and Dye Method ▶
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks, Refer to the manufacturer's directions when using the kit.
Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil fill tube.
Operate the vehicle normal operating conditions as directed in the kit.
Direct the light toward the suspected area. The dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path leading to
the source. -
-
-
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and traced back to its source, the cause of the leak must
be determined in order for it to be repaired properly.
If a gasket is replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will not repair the leak. The bent
flange must be repaired also. Before attempting to repair a leak, check for the following conditions and
correct them as they may cause a leak.Repairing the Leak ▶
Gaskets ▶
The fluid level/pressure is too high.
The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
The seal bore is damaged (scratched, burred or nicked).
The seal is damaged or worn.
Improper installation is evident.
There are cracks in the components.
The shaft surface is scratched, nicked or damaged.
A loose or worn bearing is causing excess seal wear. -

Leakage Test ▶
Warm the engine up to normal operating temperature.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the spark plugs.
Check the coolant level by opening the coolant reservoir cap and replenish if insufficient.
Open the engine oil filler cap.
Connect the tester to air pressure line and adjust the scale of tester.
Install the connecting hose to spark plug hole.
Position the piston of No.1 cylinder at TDC by rotating the crankshaft.
Connect the connecting hose to tester and measure the leakage volume after blowing up
5 bar of compressed air. -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Measure the leakage volume in the completely opening condition of throttle valve by pulling the
acceleration cable. -
Perform the pressure test according to the firing order. -
Firing Order: 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 -
Compare the leakage pressure with the specifications. -

6) Alternator
Alternators are equipped with internal regulators.
Unlike three-wire generators, the alternator may be used with only two connections: battery positive and
an "D+" terminal to the charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp lights when the ignition switch is turned to
RUN, and goes out when the engine is running.
If the charge idicator is on with the engine running, a charging system defect is indicated. This indicato
r
light will glow at full brilliance for several kinds of defects as well as when the system voltage is too high
or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and limits the system voltage by controlling roto
r
field current.
Achieve correct average field current for proper system voltage control by varying the on-off time. At high
speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent and the off-time 90 percent.
At low speeds, with high electrical loads, the on-time may be 90 percent and the off-time 10 percent.
7) Charging System
Generators use a new type of regulator that incorporates a diode trio.
A Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar
to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used.
There is no test hole.
8) Starter
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged around the armature, which are energized by
wound field coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed
in the drive housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy conditions, and splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when the switch is closed.
The resulting plunger and shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel ring
gear.
The solenoid main contacts close. Cranking then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the armature from excessive speed until the switch is
opened, at which time the return spring causes the pinion to disengage.
To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be released immediately after the engine starts.
