MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE – DIESEL ENGINE
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance items
may result in damage to the vehicle.
At Each Stop For Fuel
•
Check the engine oil level at least 30 minutes after a
fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level
while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the
accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when
the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
Once A Month
•
Inspect the batteries, and clean and tighten the termi-
nals as required.
•
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake
master cylinder, and automatic transmission (if
equipped), and add as needed.
At Each Oil Change
•
Change the engine oil filter.
•
Inspect the exhaust system.
•
Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
•
Lubricate outer tie rod ends.
Inspection and service should also be performed anytime a
malfunction is observed or suspected. Retain all receipts.
Oil Change Indicator System – Cummins® Diesel
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. This system will alert you when it is
time to change your engine oil by displaying the words
“Oil Change Due” on your Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC). The oil change reminder will remind
the owner to change the engine oil every 15,000 miles or
500 hours, whichever comes first, except for the Chassis
Cab models that are using B20 biodiesel, which are 12,500
