  • 1997 Series 60 Engine

    Posted by Dan on January 27, 2013 at 2:52 pm

    Can someone tell me how many QTS of oil a series 60 engine holds. Also the numbers for the 2 oil and the 2 fuel filters normally changed when chaning the oil. Thanks

    The manual calls for 37 quarts. I usually buy (2) 5 gallon pails and that is more than enough unless I have to fill the reservoir. FWIW, the reservoir holds a little over 2 gallons and I drain that first, then top off the engine out of the pails, and put the remaining oil into the reservoir. I have a pump for draining the pails, but gallons or 2.5 gallon containers work, but it is a pain using them.

    This is a good link: http://prevostparts.volvo.com/technicalpublications/pdf/pa1111-05.pdf

    For oil filters I have used Baldwin B495, NAPA 1971, Detroit 25014505. Either number will work and any part store can cross reference to any of the other brands.

    Dan,

    I’m sorry I did not answer the fuel filter question. I should have said why. It has been my experience that sometimes the different converters set up the fuel filters different than other converters. I don’t know how that falls to the responsibility of converters or if they take it on their own, but on my Liberty of your vintage coach I had a Racor as Primary and a conventional spin on as secondary. I have no idea if those are options Prevost offers or if Liberty opts to set the filters up themselves.

    The conventional fuel filters are AC TP915D (primary) and AC TP916D (secondary) Baldwin BF5900 and BF5810 respectively. You need to verify that by looking at the number on your filters because there is no assurance they are correct for your coach.

    Dan,

    Don’t forget the coolant filter as well, but I don’t have the number easily at hand.

    Dan,

    More about coolant filters….

    Look up the coolant capacity of your system. Match the coolant filter to that capacity. NAPA (Wix Filters) have all the information inside the filter book at the NAPA store.

    There are many sizes of coolant filters, based on coolant amount.

    and certain coolant types require a ‘blank’ filter.

    Good point Joel, if you’re using extended life coolant, you want a blank filter.
