SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If you operate your vehicleprimarilyin one of the conditions listed
below, you will need to have some items serviced more frequently. If you
onlyoccasionallyoperate your vehicle under any of these conditions,
you don’t need to perform the additional maintenance. For specific
recommendations, see your dealership service advisor or technician.
Frequent/extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal
driving) or frequent low speed operation if vehicle is used for
stationary operation
As required Change engine oil and filter as indicated by
message center and perform services listed in the
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
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing in the message center or
when the time/mileage (km) reading indicates service is due.
Example #1:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message comes on at
19,751 miles (31,786 km); perform the 22,500 mile (36,000 km) fuel
filter replacement.
Example #2:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message hasnotcome on
but the odometer reads 22,500 miles (36,000 km); perform the fuel filter
replacement. (i.e., Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ was reset at 15,000 miles
[24,000 km].)
Note:Vehicles operating under these severe service conditions need to
have their maintenance requirements adjusted. This needs to be
considered when determining vehicle service intervals.
