Iveco Daily 2.3 F1A (2006): Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

The F1A lubrication system is serviced by changing the oil and oil filter. The total fill capacity for the 2.3 F1A is about 5.5-5.7 L (5.8-6.0 qt), depending on the engine version. The oil in the pan sits between marks of roughly 3 L (3.2 qt) (minimum) and 4.3 L (4.5 qt) (maximum). Some oil stays in the filter and the oil cooler, so checking the level on the dipstick after the change is mandatory.

Key figures

Engine oil capacity
about 5.5-5.7 L (5.8-6.0 qt). This is what you need to add when changing the oil and filter, while the pan holds 3-4.3 L (3.2-4.5 qt) between the dipstick marks (steps 10-12)
Suitable oil viscosity
5W-30 or 15W-40. Choose when buying the oil (part)

Check these values against the manufacturer’s specification for your vehicle before you start.

Step by step

14 steps

Warm the engine up to operating temperature (5-10 minutes), shut it off and wait 5 minutes so the oil drains down into the pan.
Park the vehicle level over the pit or on the lift and set the parking brake. If there is an engine skid plate, remove it.
Open the oil filler cap on the engine so the oil drains faster.
Place the container under the pan and remove the oil pan drain plug. The oil is hot, so be careful not to burn yourself.
Let the oil drain for at least 10-15 minutes.
Clean the plug, replace the sealing ring, thread the plug in and tighten it with a torque wrench. Torque is per the manufacturer's specification, approximately 30-50 N·m (22-37 lb-ft). Do not overtighten, as the threads in an aluminum or steel pan are easily stripped.
Locate the oil filter, place the container under it and unscrew the housing or cartridge. Only a small amount of oil will run out of it.
Wipe the mounting surface clean. On a new filter, lubricate the sealing ring with clean oil. If the filter is in a housing, replace the housing O-rings as well.
Install the filter and tighten it. Torque is per the manufacturer's specification (for a spin-on canister, usually hand-tight plus an additional turn; for a cartridge in a housing, use a torque wrench). Do not use excessive force.
Pour in about 4.5-5 L (4.8-5.3 qt) of oil through the funnel, wait a couple of minutes and check the level on the dipstick.
Start the engine for 30-60 seconds and wait until the oil pressure light goes out. Shut it off and check for leaks at the plug and the filter.
After 5 minutes, check the level with the dipstick and top up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill above the MAX mark.
Reset the service interval counter if the vehicle has one, and take the used oil to a collection point.
While you are at it, inspect the engine for oil leaks: the valve cover, the crankshaft seals, the oil cooler and its hoses.

Common mistakes and warnings

Work on a hot but not scorching engine, and use reliable stands under the vehicle rather than only a jack
Change the oil and filter on schedule per the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
With city driving, short trips and heavy loads, it is better to shorten the interval
The torque values above are approximate, so verify the exact values against the manufacturer's specification
