| General Service Bulletin (GSB): | Engine Oil White Fluorescent Dye Usage |
| GSB Overview: | This document provides information regarding usage of white fluorescent dye for diagnosis of engine oil leaks. |
| NOTE: This information is not intended to replace or supersede any warranty, parts and service policy, Work Shop Manual (WSM) procedures or technical training or wiring diagram information. | |
Overview:
- White Fluorescent Dye now available for engine oil leak diagnosis
- Provides distinct white glow to separate engine oil leak from transmission oil leaks.
- The new white dye is Rotunda Part number 164-TP33200601.
- Requires use of a pure UV Diagnostic inspection lamp like Rotunda 164-TP8695 or 164-R3748 available through the Rotunda catalog.
New Dye Service Procedure:
*IF FACTORY FILL OIL WITH DYE IS PRESENT, CHANGE OIL AND FILTER PRIOR TO USING NEW DYE.*
Use the 12 Volt Rotunda 164-R3748 or 164-TP8695 Pure UV Diagnostic Inspection Lamp with white dye part number 164-TP33200601 to carry out the following procedure for engine oil leak diagnosis.
Refer to Workshop Manual Section 303-00. Under Diagnosis and Testing, locate the “Engine Oil Leaks – Fluorescent Oil Additive Method “ Component test and follow the WSM instructions.
NOTE: This new dye will glow fluorescent white rather than the traditional bright yellow or orange.
- If transmission leak is suspect, use Rotunda Tracerline 164-R3700 or 164-R3754 automatic transmission / power-steering fluid dye that fluoresces yellow and yellow/green respectively to aid in differentiating a leak between an engine and transmission.
