530 Maintenance
The first oil and filter change is at the warranty service
after 10 000 km or 4 weeks, whichever occurs first.
The exceptions are all FM and FH trucks made in
Europe. They do not need warranty service on their
engines.
Limitations in the service intervals for D9B,
D11A/D11B, D13A and D16E
• No oil change interval may exceed 12 monthsfor
these engines.
• If the sulphur content of the fuel exceeds 0.05 per
cent by weight, the oil change interval should be
reduced to 2/3 taking into account the distance
driven and engine running hours.
• If the sulphur content of the fuel exceeds 0.5 per
cent by weight, the oil change interval should be
reduced to 1/3 taking into account the distance
driven and engine running hours.
Limitations in the service intervals for other
engines
• No oil change interval is allowed to exceed 6
months.
• If the sulphur content of the fuel exceeds 0.5 per
cent by weight, the oil change interval should be
halved. This is to be applied irrespective of
mileage, engine hours or fuel volume consumed.
Fuels with an extremely low sulphur content, e.g.
environmentally classified fuels, do not allow
lengthening of service intervals.
• Long life full-flow filters, must be used if the oil
change intervals exceed 30,000 km.
Fuel system
REMEMBER to always observe cleanliness when
working with the diesel engine fuel system. Make sure
the tank is as full as possible to avoid condensation.
Note!
These restrictions in sulphur content
and oil change intervals can even be
used on older engines, but it is not a
demand.
This applies without regard to
distance, engine hours, calendar time
and fuel
consumption. Fuel with an extremely
low sulphur content, i.e.
environmentally classified fuel, does
not allow lengthening of service
intervals.
