Maintenance Guidelines
Maintenance Guidelines
Overview
General Information
PACCAR recommends that the
engine be maintained according to the
maintenance schedule in this section.
If the engine is operating in ambient
temperatures below 0°F (-18°C)
or above 100°F (38°C), perform
maintenance at shorter intervals.
Shorter maintenance intervals are also
required if the engine is operated in a
dusty environment or if frequent stops
are made.
Some of these maintenance
procedures require special tools
or must be completed by qualified
personnel. Contact your local
PACCAR authorized repair location for
detailed information.
If your engine is equipped with
a component or accessory not
manufactured by PACCAR Inc, refer
to the component manufacturer's
maintenance recommendations.
Oil Drain Intervals
Oil drain interval recommendations are
based on vehicle application or engine
duty cycle. PACCAR recommends
the use of high quality lubricating oil
as indicated in the Lubricating Oil
Recommendations in the Maintenance
Specifications Section.
