This diesel engine has been developed to take
advantage of the high energy content and
generally lower cost Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur
diesel fuel or Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur
climatized diesel fuels.
NOTE:
If you accidentally fill the fuel tank with gaso
-
line on your diesel vehicle, do not start the
engine. Damage to the engine and fuel
system could occur. Please call an autho
-
rized dealer for service.
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting
ASTM specification D-975
may be used with
your diesel engine without any adjustments
to regular service schedules.
Commercially available fuel additives are not
necessary for the proper operation of your
diesel engine.
Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should
only be used where extended arctic condi
-
tions (-10°F or -23°C) exist.

EQUIREMENTS
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting
ASTM specification D975 is recommended for
use with your diesel engine. If frequent
operation with biodiesel blends that are
between 6% and 20% (B6–B20) is desired, the
maintenance schedule is subject to shorter
intervals.
The oil and filter change along with fuel filter
replacement is subject to shorter intervals when
operating your engine on biodiesel greater than
5%. Do not use biodiesel greater than 20%.
For regular use of biodiesel blends between 6%
and 20% (B6–B20) it is important that you
understand and comply with these
389.
Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable
resources typically derived from animal fat,
rapeseed oil (Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME)
base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl Ester (SME or
SOME) base).
Biodiesel fuel has inherent limitations which
require that you understand and adhere to the
following requirements if you use blends of
biodiesel between 6% and 20% (B6–B20). There
are no unique restrictions for the use of B5.
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements
for vehicles operating on biodiesel blends
between 6% and 20% (B6–B20) will result in
premature engine wear. Such wear is not cov
-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Use of blends greater than 20% is not
approved. Use of blends greater than 20% can
result in engine damage. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
In the event that the vehicle is filled with bio
-
diesel and not used for more than a month,
the fuel should either be used up by driving
(up to quarter tank) and filled with standard
diesel blends with less than 5% that is nor
-
mally available. This will help prevent the fuel
filter clogging and potential damage to the
fuel injection system due to degraded bio
-
diesel, which is not covered by the New Vehi
-
cle Limited Warranty.
