FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES
OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS
REQUIRED (UNITED STATES/CANADA/PUERTO RICO/U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND OTHER LOCALES)
Note:Damage caused by using the improper type of fuel or fuel additive
is not covered under your warranty.
Note:Do not blend used engine oil with diesel fuel under any
circumstances. Blending used oil with the fuel will significantly increase
your vehicle’s exhaust emissions and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (also known as ULSD) designated as number
1-D or 2-D with a maximum of 15 ppm sulfur should be used in your
diesel vehicle. This vehicle may be operated on diesel fuels containing up
to 20% biodiesel, also known as B20. These fuels should meet either the
ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry
specifications should be used. Outside of North America, use fuels
meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel
fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in the
6.7L diesel engine will cause certain emission components to malfunction
which may also cause the service engine soon light to illuminate
indicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel
which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient conditions. SeeCold
weather operationin theFuel and Refuelingchapter of this supplement.
