M931A2 Cummins basic info request

[dabtl]

How much oil in the engine? How many filters? What else do I need to know about changing the oil??

LO9-2320-272-12 Lubrication order for the M939 series trucks. June 1990

The spreadsheet in the stickies should have the filter numbers listed.

-and a large drain pan....

Found that out with the deuce!!

So, I either have 18 quarts or 22 quarts oil capacity. I see the M939A1 has 22 and the M939A2 has 18 quarts. My M931A2 then would require 18 quarts? Still confusing but I will catch on. I promise.

The a2's motor is quite a bit smaller.

Really? Wow!

You should have a data tag on your dash.

It tells you the oil capacity, and TM numbers to use.

Same as most military trucks.

It sorta HELPS to READ the TMs that covers the trucks you own, there is a LOT of tid bits of interesting info in them, like HOW MUCH OIL to put in at a oil change, because if MORE oil is drained then what goes in at the oil change just might indicate a slight problem.

To be perfectly honest, I have yet to drive the tractor. I got it a couple of years ago in trade and it has mostly sat or been driven in parades by friends. So, I have yet to see the data tag!

It may get some use pulling an M113 around, but that will be later this Spring.
