Main parameters and characteristics of YaMZ-238 engines

Long service life and reliable operation of the engine depend on timely maintenance.

Maintenance work is preventive, so it must be done on time.

Daily maintenance is carried out once a day.

Maintenance after engine break-in.

First maintenance (TO-1) is performed every 500 hours of engine operation.

The second maintenance (TO-2) is carried out after 1000 hours of engine operation.

Seasonal maintenance is carried out before winterization and during the transition to summer.
