MAINTENANCE
Short-Haul — Applies to vehicles
that annually travel up to 15,000
miles (24,000 kilometers) and operate
under normal conditions. Examples
of Short-Haul usage are: operation
primarily in cities and densely
populated areas; local transport with
infrequent freeway travel; or high
percentage of stop-and-go travel.
Long-Haul — Long Haul
(over-the-road transport) is for
vehicles that annually travel more than
30,000 miles (48,000 kilometers),
with minimal city or stop-and-go
operation. Examples of Long-Haul
usage are: regional delivery that
is mostly freeway miles; interstate
transport; or any road operation with
high annual mileage.
Maintenance Intervals — The
three tables show which maintenance
operation must be performed at
the actual distances (in miles or
kilometers) for each maintenance
operation. The schedule of actual
distances is based on the intervals
given in the Maintenance Tables
The three maintenance tables
are: referred to in section
"Maintenance Tables."
□ Maintenance Interval Table,
Severe Service (listed in Table 7)
□ Maintenance Interval Table, Short

Schedule Use

Before placing your new vehicle
in service, determine the correct
maintenance intervals that apply to
your intended use of the vehicle.
Refer to section "Maintenance Tables"
to determine the distance interval at
which each maintenance operation
must be performed to comply with
your vehicle's schedule.
When the vehicle reaches the actual
distance given for an interval,
refer to section "Maintenance Tables".
When maintenance is required
for hours of engine operation
for severe applications
refer to section "Maintenance
Tables". Listed in Table 6 provides
an engine hours conversion for
applications that may require service
intervals based on hours and not
mileage. The intervals are based on
a collaboration of field and fleet data.
For a more accurate analyst of when
fluids should be changed, such as
engine oil, refer to publication Engine
Requirements – Lubricating Oil, Fuel
and Filters, (7SE270), available from
authorized Detroit Diesel distributors.
Complete each maintenance operation
at the required interval.
