(1) Engine oil also meets API classification CI-4.
Other oils may meet requirements - see oil label to
determine
Use of the approved fluid is required if the
ASSYST Oil Service Reminder is followed. Use of a
lower quality oil on this service schedule may cause
severe engine damage.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS - DIESEL ENGINE
WARNING: Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel
blending agent. They can be unstable under certain
conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed
with diesel fuel.
Use only commercially available vehicular diesel
fuels No. 2 or No. 1 (ASTM D 975 No. 2-D or No.
1-D).
NOTE: Because of its better quality, the manufac-
turer recommends the use of commercially avail-
able vehicular diesel fuel No. 2.
DIESEL FUELS FOR USE AT VERY LOW TEMPERA-
TURE
At very low temperatures, the fluidity of No. 2 die-
sel fuel may become insufficient due to paraffin sep-
eration. For this reason, the vehicle comes equipped
with a fuel preheater. It permits trouble free engine
operation to a temperature of approximately 14ÉF
(-10ÉC) when using No. 2 diesel fuel.
To avoid malfunctions, No. 2 diesel fuel of a low-
ered cloud point is marketed during the cold season.
At temperatures below 14 ÉF (-10 ÉC) use winter-
ized or No. 1 diesel fuel only.
