3.6 Countries with elevated sulphur content
in diesel fuel
Only applies to diesel engines: In some countries, there is an ele‐
vated sulphur content in diesel fuel. The high sulphur content
leads to excessive wear of cylinders and it considerably reduces
the cleanliness of pistons. Therefore, in countries with elevated
sulphur content in diesel fuel, change engine oil every 7,500 km.
