What happens here

Place a funnel into the engine's oil fill port. Use an oil transfer can (holds 4 quarts) to pour the new Rotella T6 engine oil into the engine. The engine requires approximately 10 quarts of oil. Start by adding about 9.5 quarts, then after starting the engine and circulating the oil, check the dipstick and add more as needed. Be careful not to overfill the engine. Using a funnel helps prevent spills on the engine, keeping the workspace clean and reducing fire hazards.

Goal: Refill the engine with fresh oil.
