Daily Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is the easiest and least expensive type of maintenance. Preventative maintenance begins
with a day-to-day awareness of the condition of your engine and its systems. Each time you re-fuel the truck, check
the following:
• Oil level
• Coolant level
• If the Water In Fuel light is lit, drain water from the fuel/water separator filter.
- Visually check for leaks, loose parts, frayed belts, etc.
Oil level - Check
Check the engine oil level. Never operate the engine with the oil
level below the "L" (LOW) mark or above the "H* (High) mark.
The oil capacity between the low mark and the high mark on
the oil dipstick is 1.89 liters [2 U.S. quarts].
Cooling system - Check
Inspect the cooling system and hoses for leaks or signs of
wear. Check the radiator fins for excessive dirt and debris.
