ENGINE OIL A N D FILTER
Recommendations
Use only SE engine oil.
Change oil each 6 months or 7500 miles, whichever
occurs first, except under the following conditions:
--driving in dusty conditions
--trailer pulling
--extensive idling
-
-short-trip operation at freezing temperatures (engine
not thoroughly warmed-up).
Under these conditions, change oil each 3 months or
3,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Operation in dust storms may require an immediate
oil change.
Replace the oil filter at the first oil change, and every
second oil change thereafter. AC oil filters (or equivalent)
provide excellent engine protection.
The above recommendations apply to the first changes
as well as subsequent oil changes. The oil change interval is
based on the use of SE oils and quality oil filters. Oil change
intervals longer than those listed above will seriously reduce
engine life and may affect the manufacturer's obligation
under the provisions of the New Vehicle Warranty.
A high quality SE oil was installed in your engine at the
factory. It is not necessary to change this factory-installed oil
prior to the recommended normal change period. However,
check the oil level more frequently during the break-in period
since higher oil consumption is normal until the piston rings
become seated.
The proper oil viscosity helps assure good cold and hot
starting.
NOTE: Non-detergent and other low quality oils are
specifically not recommended. Only the use of SE engine
oils and proper oil and filter change intervals assure you
of continued reliability and performance from your
engine.
