    "Open drain valve and allow oil to drain. Drain valve is accessible through opening in the frame. Close drain valve. Remove and discard the used filter." If you would like to post the machine Serial Number I can identify the correct Operation & Maintenance Manual for it (there are various depending on S/N). The O&M should contain all the required information.

    So for 87V4677 you want Cat Publication reference SEBU5453 that covers all 87V-prefix machines up to S/No 5733. Here's one for sale on eBay . There may be others.
