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 with in the suggested schedule. The regular
use of biodiesel between 6% and 20% requires intervals
shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles and must not exceed
the suggested schedule. When routinely operating on
biodiesel between 6% and 20%, oil and filter replacement
intervals must not exceed 8,000 Miles or 6 months, which
ever comes first.
Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals
The use of biodiesel requires more frequent fuel filter change
intervals. When operating on biodiesel between 6% and 20%,
fuel filter replacement intervals should be every second oil
change, and must not exceed 16,000 miles (25 750 km).
NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals exceed 8,000 miles (12,875 km) or 6 months, if regular
operation occurs with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends. Under no
circumstances should fuel filter replacement intervals ex-
ceed every second oil change and must not exceed 16,000
miles (25 750 km), if regular operation occurs with 6% -
20% biodiesel blends. Failure to comply with these Oil
Change and fuel filter 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. The engine may suffer severe damage if
operated with concentrations of biodiesel higher than 20%.
