scheduled maintenance chart
Every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km), 6 months,
600 engine hours or as
indicated by message
centerReplace engine- and frame-mounted fuel filters
Every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) or 600
engine hoursInspect concentration (freeze-point protection)
and additive strength (corrosion inhibitor); add
engine coolant additive, if required
Every 60,000 miles
(96,000 km) or 2,400
engine hoursFlush and refill engine coolant; do not add
engine coolant additive
Perform the services noted in the preceding table at the specified
time/mileage (km) period either within 3,000 miles (4,800 km) of the
