250 Vehicle Care
This Engine Oil Viscosity Grade
Chart shows general information.
For this vehicle, oil with *W-40
viscosity is recommended.
Changing the Engine Oil and
Oil Filter
Engine oil and the oil filter are
important factors in engine
performance and lifespan. Be sure
to use only the specified oil and oilfilters. The engine oil level must be
checked and the oil should be
changed regularly according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Use the indicated oil quantities only
as guidelines when changing the
engine oil. After changing the oil,
make sure the oil is at the required
level. See
Capacities and
Specifications 0357. Failure to use the recommended
engine oil could result in engine or
DPF breakdown, or in poor fuel
efficiency. Be sure to use the
recommended engine oil.
Engine oil change precaution:
.
When adding oil, remove the
dipstick.
. After adding oil, wait for at least
5 minutes before starting the
engine. Be sure to reinstall the
dipstick.
Discarded Parts, Oils and
Other Liquids
When changing oils, filters, engine
coolant or other liquids, be sure to
have a container ready in advance
for their disposal.
Use methods conforming to legal
requirements for discarding or
disposing of parts, oils, filters or
engine coolant after change or
replacement.
Do not dispose of used engine oil,
fuel or any other oil in a careless
manner such as pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams

336 Service and Maintenance
3. Engine Oil and Oil Filter :
Change at interval noted below
depending upon driving conditions.
•Normal Service —Change every
16 000 km (10,000 miles) or
12 months whichever occurs first.
• Severe Service —Change every
8 000 km (5,000 miles) or 3 months
if you often drive under one or more
of these conditions: (a) driving in
dusty areas, (b) frequent idling or
idling for long periods, (c) driving
6 km (4 miles) or less in freezing
weather, or other short trips in cold
weather, where the engine does not
thoroughly warm up.
Change oil and filter as soon as you
can after driving in a dust storm.
When recommended oil is used, it
conforms to this maintenance
schedule. (Recommended oil: CK-4
(API designations))
4. Fuel Filter : Replace the fuel
filter every 24 000 km (15,000 miles)
or more frequently if clogged or
replace when the fuel filter indicator
light comes on (if equipped). 5. Pre-Fuel Filter/Water
separator :
Replace the fuel filter
every 24 000 km (15,000 miles) or
more frequently if clogged or
replace when the fuel filter indicator
light comes on (if equipped).
6. Air Cleaner Filter : The level of
dirt in the air cleaner element can
be checked against the indicator.
Replace the air cleaner filter when
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
shows "CHECK AIR FILTER".
7. Damage to Air Intake Ducts and
Hoses : Check for damage of air
intake ducts and hoses and that
those are correctly installed every
24 000 km (15,000 miles) or
12 months. Replace or adjust those
if necessary.
8. Drive Belts : Check belt driving
the fan, alternator or A/C
compressor every 16 000 km
(10,000 miles). Look for cracks,
fraying, wear, and proper tension.
9. Engine Bolt Torques : Loosened
bolts result in lower engine output.
Check and adjust manifold mounting, and injectors to correct
torque every 80 000 km
(50,000 miles).
10. Rotate Tires :
To equalize wear,
rotate tires and adjust tire pressures
every 10 400 km (6,500 miles). See
Tire Rotation 0307.
11. Engine Cooling System : At
12 months or 16 000 km
(10,000 miles) intervals, wash
radiator cap and filler neck with
clean water, pressure test system
and radiator cap for proper pressure
holding capacity, tighten hose
clamps and inspect condition of all
cooling and heater hoses. Replace
hoses if cracked, swollen or
otherwise deteriorated. Have the
hoses replaced by your authorized
dealer.
12. Engine Coolant : Inspect the
engine coolant every 12 months.
Replace the engine coolant every
24 months, drain the engine coolant
by opening the drain plug at the
bottom of the radiator core, flush
and refill the engine cooling system
with a new engine coolant. Refer to
"Preparing Engine Coolant" in

Service and Maintenance 337
Engine Coolant0253. Have the
Engine Coolant replaced by your
authorized dealer.
13. Exhaust System : Check the
complete exhaust system every
16 000 km (10,000 miles). Check
body areas near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged,
missing, or out-of-position parts.
Also inspect for open seams, holes,
loose connections, or other
conditions which could cause heat
build-up at the rear body floor pan,
or could let exhaust fumes seep into
the passenger compartment. Dust
or water in the cabin may indicate a
leak in that area. Required repairs
should be made at once.
14. DPF (Clean Filter) : Clean the
filter every 160 000 km
(100,000 miles) or 3,000 hours
whichever occurs first.
15. DPF (Pressure Difference
Sensor 0 Point Adjustment) :
Adjust the sensor every 160 000 km
(100,000 miles) or 3,000 hours
whichever occurs first. 16. DPF (Pressure Difference
Sensor Hose) :
Inspect the sensor
hose every 160 000 km
(100,000 miles) or 3,000 hours
whichever occurs first. Replace the
sensor hose every 400 000 km
(250,000 miles).
17. Fuel Line System : Inspect the
fuel tank, cap and lines for damage
which could cause leakage every
16 000 km (10,000 miles). Inspect
fuel cap for correct sealing ability
and indications of physical damage.
Replace any damaged or
malfunctioning parts.
18. Brake Lining and Pad for
Wear : Check drum brake lining and
disc brake pad for wear or cracks
every 16 000 km (10,000 miles).
Check brakes (including parking
brake) more often if operating
conditions or driving habits result in
frequent braking.
Front disc brakes have built-in wear
noise indicators which are designed
to make a high pitched squeal or
cricket-like warning sound when the
brake pads are worn to the point
where new pads are needed. When the truck is in motion, the
sound may be constant or it may
come and go. Pressing the brake
pedal firmly may cause the sound
to stop.
Have the brake linings or the brake
pads replaced by your authorized
dealer as soon as possible after the
warning first becomes evident.
Failure to do so can result in
expensive damage to the brake
system or a serious crash.
19. Brake Drum and Rotor for
Wear and Damage :
Check brake
drums (rear and parking) and rotors
(front) for wear or damage every
32 000 km (20,000 miles) or
12 months whichever occurs first.
20. Brake Electric Vacuum Pump
(4500HD, 4500XD models) :
Inspect the brake electric vacuum
pump operation every 16 000 km
(10,000 miles) or 12 months,
whichever occurs first.
