Renault Magnum 11.1 D (E-Tech, 440 hp) 2004: Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

The 10.8 L DXi11 engine in the Renault Magnum E-Tech 440 needs an oil change every 40,000-60,000 km, depending on operating conditions. The lubrication system capacity is 36 L (38 qt). This is a standard procedure for heavy trucks and requires a lift or an inspection pit.

Difficulty: Medium Time: 1-1.5 hours Steps: 15 Tools: 24-27 mm wrench (drain plug), oil filter wrench, 40 L (42 qt) drain pan, funnel, torque wrench, shop rags

Part

  • 🔩 Renault oil filter 7421700201 (equivalents: Donaldson P553191, Fleetguard LF4006), engine oil 10W-40 API CI-4/CJ-4 or ACEA E7/E9, 36 L (38 qt), copper drain plug sealing washer

Step by step

15 steps
  1. Warm the engine up to operating temperature (5-10 minutes of running), shut it off, and wait 5 minutes. Hot oil drains better and carries debris out of the oil pan.
  2. Position the truck over an inspection pit or on a lift, secure it with the parking brake, and place wheel chocks under the wheels.
  3. Place a drain pan of at least 40 L (42 qt) under the engine oil pan (draining takes 10-15 minutes).
  4. Use a 24-27 mm wrench to remove the drain plug at the bottom of the oil pan. The oil comes out under pressure, so keep your hands clear. Wait until it has drained completely.
  5. Inspect the copper washer on the plug. If it is deformed, replace it with a new one. Wipe the sealing surface on the oil pan with a clean rag.
  6. Install the drain plug with a new washer and tighten it to 35-45 N·m (26-33 lb-ft). Check the manufacturer's specification for the exact value; for heavy-duty engines it is usually 40 N·m (30 lb-ft).
  7. Loosen the old oil filter with a filter wrench, then unscrew it by hand. 0.5-1 L (0.5-1 qt) of oil will spill out of it, so keep rags ready.
  8. Wipe the filter mounting surface on the engine block and make sure the old filter's rubber gasket has not stuck to it.
  9. Fill the new filter about 2/3 full with fresh oil and lubricate its rubber sealing ring with oil.
  10. Install the new filter by hand until the gasket touches the base, then tighten it another 3/4 turn (about 270 degrees). Do not use the filter wrench for tightening, to avoid overtightening.
  11. Pour 34-35 L (36-37 qt) of fresh oil through the oil filler neck (the cap is on the right side of the valve cover). Leave 1-2 L (1-2 qt) to top up using the dipstick.
  12. Start the engine and let it idle for 1-2 minutes. The oil pressure light should go out within 3-5 seconds. Shut the engine off.
  13. Wait 10 minutes, then check the level with the dipstick. The mark should be between MIN and MAX. Top up if necessary.
  14. Inspect the drain plug and filter for leaks and wipe them dry. Start the engine and check again for leaks.
  15. Reset the service interval counter (if equipped) using the instrument cluster or the diagnostic connector.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not start the engine right after draining the oil. The filter must be pre-filled with oil. Otherwise, the crankshaft and turbocharger run dry for the first few seconds, which shortens bearing life. Take used oil to a collection facility or recycling center, and never dump it on the ground. Use oil meeting ACEA E7 or higher. Low-grade oil in a turbodiesel causes coking of the piston rings and the turbocharger. If the engine consumes oil (more than 1 L per 10,000 km (1 qt per 6,000 miles)), have the cylinder-piston group and the turbocharger diagnosed. An oil change will not fix the problem.
