No oil draining out during oil change

[Goteborg Vapenfabrik]

Hey again, that isn’t the oil pan drain, that is the access for oil pump pressure regulating spring. Do not start the engine! You may have lost critical parts required for making oil pressure. Until you are certain all these parts are installed in the correct order, do not proceed.

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what the spring and piston were for exactly. I'll look and try to find a proper diagram that shows them.

Ok, I found the diagram of the oil pressure relief valve in the service manual.

I feel dumb but at least I know what happened now. Thanks for your help.

I remember to do this very mistake when I had my 240, 3 years ago. So dont feel dumb, when one is not raised with these skills, one should not feel shame to do that kind of errors

Great job getting the pressure relief valve put back together! Understand that used diesel oil is very messy and can stain hands and clothes! Gloves and old long sleeve shirts can be your best friend.
