practices.

Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (less than 15ppm/ 15 mg/kg sulfur content) in this unit.
Operating with higher sulfur content will damage the engine and aftertreatment device.
IMPORTANT:
Fuel sulfur content should be less than 5000 ppm (5000 mg/kg). Worldwide, fuel sulfur
regulations vary widely. Fuel used should always comply with local regulations. If using fuel with sulfur
content above 5000 ppm (5000 mg/kg), reduce oil change interval by half.
