Fuel Selection
6.7L Turbo Diesel Use good quality diesel fuel
from a reputable supplier in your
vehicle. Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle with
Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of LowSulfur Highway Diesel fuel
(500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions control system. For most year-
round service, No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM specification
D-975 Grade S15 will provide
good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold(below 20°F or -7°C), or is
required to operate at colder-
than-normal conditions for pro- longed periods, use climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50%
No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection from fuel gellingor wax-plugging of the fuel filters. This vehicle is fully compatible with biodiesel blends up to
5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-975. Standard Rear Tank -
52 Gallons (197 Liters)
Optional Midship Tank - 22 Gallons (83 Liters)

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic AdditiveTechnology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and
may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine
coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive
Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible”
coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into
the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS-12106), by an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
• Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
• This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)
is not recommended.
E-85 Flexible Fuel – 3.6L/4.7L Engine Only
CAUTION!
Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler door label or a yellow gas cap can operate on
E-85.
