andym Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Sorry guys, yet another FV432 newbie! :shocked: It won't arrive until next week and I've got assorted manuals on order, but in the meantime does anyone have a POL list? There's a thread on here that suggests one can be found on fv432.co.uk, but I can't see it. I'm also on the lookout for tracks and road wheels if anyone has any decent ones lurking around ....

A straight SAE30 (Comma Classic is ok) for the engine, gearbox, road wheels, governer and steering box. EP90 for the final drives. Hydraulic Oil for the cooling fans. Goog luck with the road wheels. I sold 24 brand new ones with my FV432. Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'll now answer my own question in case it's of interest to others. There's a POL list in the Servicing Schedule (Army Code No. 14653, Revised 1971) and it says: Engine Lubrication System: OMD 75 Engine Oil Filters: OMD 75 Gearbox (Modified): OMD 75 Final Drives: OEP 220 Engine Governor: OM 15 Hydraulic Fan Drive: OMD 75 Road and Idler Wheel Hubs: OMD 75 Steering Unit: OMD 75 The interesting thing here is that the governor should be running on hydraulic fluid rather than engine oil ...

andym Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 and dont ever leave home without the engine governor oil topped up...or disaster may occur... Yes, I've been warned about that! Which reminds me, I must try the left-hand pedal to see what actually happens when you press it .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy FV432 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi All, I suppose I will stick my neck out, I made this guide for the 432 website, just haven't got around to uploading it! I've had quite a few enquiries about which oils to use, so here goes! Fv432 Lubrication Guide The MOD lists OMD 75 (previously OMD 110) for the following.......... Rolls Royce K60 Allison Semi auto Gearbox Steering Box Wheel Hubs OMD 15 is listed for the Governor Housing OEP 220 for Final Drives And a hydraulic oil for the Cooling Fans OMD 75/110 (Oil Mineral Detergent) equates to SAE 30, I was advised against using a multi-grade oil such as 5/30W as these can break down to the thinner grade under hot conditions, hence sticking to straight 30W. It was also suggested that an SAE40 can be used if a vehicle is working hard, as the high temperatures in the engine bay, can still make the SAE30 go thin. This includes the hydraulic fan system. OEP 220 (Oil Extreme Pressure) equates to EP90, it is needed as the oil is required to stick to the “teeth” and resist being “squeezed” out from between the “teeth” when coming in “contact”. OMD 15 (Oil Mineral Detergent) it was suggested a “Red” Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) was best suited for the Governor housing. We all know the importance of keeping this topped up. If allowed to run dry, the rack in the FIP can stick over to full throttle, regardless of the accelerator pedal position, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle! Keep checking it as just because there are no signs of an external leak, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t leaked back internally into the Fuel Injection Pump (FIP) The small print, This is based on info from various sources over the years, and is only a guide and I or the 432.co.uk website hold no reponsibilty for any damage or loss from this guide. I hope this helps Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 good luck with the fv432 if you need any help p.m me and i will see if i can help . At moment we have 21 at work at least 10(the ones we use for customers) of these have been working happily on 15/40w oil for about 5 yrs now . also use A.T.F in the governer pump which fingers crossed has been fine for this amount of time . if yoor govener is leaking it is worth checking the front plate on govenor which is common or the kick down/gear change piston which is located by side of gear box filler, i've had a few do this just peel back the rubber gaiter if its full of oil its leaking "simples" sharky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m109a3uk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Old post but worth asking. Anyone here have any filter numbers for those fitted to the 432 range? Thanks Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Engine oil filter: Element Assembly 6438106 NSN: 2940-99-881-5919 Engine air filter: Filter element, air intake NSN: 2940-99-881-8107 Engine Fuel filter: Filter Element Fluid Pressure NSN: 2940-99-881-6588 Gearbox filter: Element Assembly NSN: 2990-99-866-2354 Note that you'll also need some O-rings; the gearbox filter comes with them, the engine filters don't.

m109a3uk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Cheers for that Andy I will try the usual suspects with the NSN and see if I can get it crossed over to a civvy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84KB11 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I have put what cross references I can find here: http://www.fv433.co.uk/fv433_service_items.html Hopefully should have a commercial match on the engine oil filter soon, just waiting to hear back and will then update the site accordingly.
