transport; or any road operation with
high annual mileage.

which maintenance operation must
be performed at the actual distances
(in miles or kilometers) for each

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
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.
