2005 Jinma 354 First Oil Change for me, any tips

[DonRina]

Well it’s time for that first engine oil change for my Jinma 354 with the three cylinder engine so I’m looking for any tips for the procedure/oil and parts. I’m thinking starting her up and running to temperature and draining the oil oil as per usual. Replace the oil filter, check drain plug sealing ring (copper washer ?) and fill to full level. Restart and let run for a minute, shut down and check for leaks and oil level.

For parts: oil Rotella 15/40 T4, oil filter no idea…looks Chinese any local filters which could be used? Install new copper sealing washer…diameter?

Also should install a new fuel filter but need replacement numbers, I think someone mentioned Napa filters but I haven’t found that thread again.

Here’s a cross reference for your tractor to Wix filters:

I have the 4-cylinder but my oil filter is a Fram PH8A, which I can get at any Walmart, as befits the heritage of the tractor.

The only thing tricky on mine is that the bracket for the FEL is close to the drain plug and it's hard to get a funnel in there without getting oil all over the bracket.

I think you've covered everything. If you have compression release, I like to use that until the oil light goes out before starting.

Change the injector oil at the same time. SAE30, lawnmower oil.

Thanks much! Any method to changing the injector oil? Kinda new to diesels.

Thanks, I’ll cross reference these. Not lots of Wix filters here.

I think NAPA gold filters are made by Wix.

Changing Injector Oil on Jinma

I have a Jinma 254 that I changed the injector oil and want to make sure I did it right (it's been awhile). I took the breather/fill cap off, unscrewed the drain plug, drained it thoroughly then replaced the drain plug. I then added 4 oz of engine oil. The manual said there was a oil level hole...

Loretta finally got around to changing her injector pump oil on her 2008 Jinma 284. It is a good thing to check it frequently and change it once a year or sooner if you wish. Keeps your injector pump in good working order. Some reminders on how to do it. Refer to the photos below and use a...

This must be unique to Jinma machines? I certainly don’t have that option on my Kubota.
