246 STARTING AND OPERATING
Fuel In Oil Dilution — Must Adhere To Required
Oil Change Interval
Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with
the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%.
To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must
be maintained to the following schedule:
• Ram PickUp 2500/3500 Only — 15,000 Miles*
• Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab — 12,500 Miles*
(*unless otherwise notified with a oil service message)
CAUTION!
• Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals exceed 15,000 miles (24 000 km) pickup or
12,500 miles (20 000 km) chassis cab if operation
occurs with greater than 5% biodiesel blends. Oil
change intervals should not exceed 6 months in
either case. Failure to comply with these Oil
Change requirements for vehicles operating on
biodiesel blends up to B20 may result in premature
engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• B20 Biodiesel capable: The engine may suffer se-
vere damage if operated with concentrations of
Biodiesel higher than 20%.
