MARK 3 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569102 08-06
Page 34 of 68 flowserve.com
In many pumping applications lubricating oil becomes
contaminated before it loses its lubricating qualities or
breaks down. For this reason it is recommended that
the first oil change take place after approximately 160
hours of operation, at which time, the used oil should be
examined carefully for contaminants. During the initial
operating period monitor the bearing housing operating
temperature. Record the external bearing housing
temperature. See figure 5-5 for maximum acceptable
temperatures. The normal oil change interval is based
on temperature and is shown in figure 5-6.

Group 1 148 ml (5 fl. oz.) 251 ml (8.5 fl. oz.)
Group 2 560 ml (19 fl. oz.) 946 ml (32 fl. oz.)
Group 3 1419 ml (48 fl. oz.) 1419 ml (48 fl. oz.)
The maximum temperature that the
bearing can be exposed to is 105 °C (220 °F).
Figure 5-3a: Recommended oil lubricants
* Note that some oils have a greater Viscosity Index than the minimum acceptable of 95 (eg Mobil DTE13M) which may extend the
minimum temperature capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less than -5 ºC (-23 ºF).
