Diesel Lubrication System
It is important to change the engine oil atthe recommended service intervals orwhen indicated by the information displayto maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oiland filter change interval beyond therecommended interval can negativelyaffect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. See Engine Oil Check(page 227).
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primarycooling loop to cool the engine and asecondary cooling loop to cool thetransmission, charge air, and fuel. Thecoolant serves three primary purposes: toprovide heat transfer, freeze pointprotection, and corrosion protection usingadditives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically areused to carry heavy loads and accumulatemileage rapidly. These two factors maycause the additives in the coolant to wearout in a shorter time. You can find moreinformation about coolant additives andcoolant change intervals in the coolantchapter. See General MaintenanceInformation (page 325). Operating theengine with insufficient coolant or coolantadditive can cause severe engine damage.
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selectivecatalytic reduction system designed toreduce emission levels of nitrogen oxidesfrom the exhaust of your diesel engine. Thissystem relies on the use of Diesel ExhaustFluid (DEF) that you must replenish atcertain intervals. Failure to maintain properDEF levels or if the DEF becomescontaminated will result in vehicle speedlimitations or result in your vehicle enteringan idle-only mode. See SelectiveCatalytic Reductant System (page 120).
