00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,208
Typical steps to perform the lubricating oil level check and oil addition, if required, are as follows: 

2
00:00:07,208 --> 00:00:12,458
<b>Note: </b>Always check the lubricating oil level with the engine running in IDLE. 

3
00:00:12,458 --> 00:00:17,042
This ensures that the lubricating oil system is completely charged. 

4
00:00:17,042 --> 00:00:23,083
<b>Note: </b>The dipstick FULL and ADD marks are calibrated for use when the engine is at IDLE. 

5
00:00:23,083 --> 00:00:34,083
If the oil filter housing was drained, as when the oil is changed, the engine will need more oil than the dipstick V12 ENGINE IDLING marked side indicates. 

6
00:00:34,083 --> 00:00:43,708
If the engine is inside a building or cannot be started for any other safety reason, the Pre-Lube Self-Test should be run to fill the filter housing. 

7
00:00:43,708 --> 00:00:48,917
<b>Note: </b>The Pre-Lube Self-Test checks the low-pressure fuel system also. 

8
00:00:48,917 --> 00:00:57,750
To prevent leaks, ensure that all fuel and oil connections are secure and that all fuel and oil drain or vent connections are closed. 

9
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:07,542
<b>Note: </b>Verify that the proper dipstick is installed in the engine by referring to the latest revision of the parts catalog for the specific locomotive. 

10
00:01:07,542 --> 00:01:16,375
1. With the engine running in IDLE, remove one of the dipsticks located on either side of the IFE cover and wipe it clean. 

11
00:01:16,375 --> 00:01:21,667
2. Re-insert the dipstick to its full length in the dipstick pipe. 

12
00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:28,083
3. Remove the dipstick and read the indication, which should be between the FULL and ADD marks. 

13
00:01:28,083 --> 00:01:37,833
<b>Note: </b>For some engine dipsticks, the indication may show FULL and LOW, with the LOW mark indicating the same approximate level as the ADD mark.
