Fuel In Oil Dilution — Must Adhere To Required
Oil Change
Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with the
use of biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%. To
ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must be
maintained with in the suggested schedule.
The regular use of biofuels greater than 5% and less than
20% require intervals shorter than the outlined 18,500 miles
(29 773 km) and must not exceed the suggested schedule.
When routinely operating on biofuels greater that 5% and
less than 20%, oil and filter replacement intervals must not
exceed 10,000 miles (16 093 km) or 6 months, which ever
comes first.
Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals
The use of biofuels require intervals shorter than the
outlined 30,000 miles (48 280 km) and must not exceed the
suggested schedule. When operating on biofuels greater
that 5% and less than 20%, fuel filter replacement intervals
must not exceed 20,000 Miles (40 233 km).
NOTE:
•
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 10,000 miles (16 093 km) or 6 months, if regular
operation occurs with greater than 5% and less than 20%
biodiesel blends.
•
Under no circumstances should fuel filter intervals ex-
ceed 20,000 miles (40 233 km), if regular operation occurs
with greater than 5% and less than 20% biodiesel blends.
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with these Oil Change and fuel filter
requirements for vehicles operating on biodiesel
blends up to B20 may result in premature engine wear.
Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. The engine may suffer severe damage if
operated with concentrations of biodiesel higher than
20%.
