SAE 0W-40
SAE 5W-30
SAE 5W-40
SAE 10W-30
SAE 10W-40
SAE 15W-40

INFORMATION:
Refer to the Engine Manufacturers Owners Manual for details on the oil maintenance
schedule.

ENGINE SHUTDOWN

Allow the engine to idle three to five minutes after a full load operation to allow adequate cool down
of pistons, cylinders, bearings and turbocharger components. Under normal driving conditions, exiting
the highway is generally lighter engine operation and the need for the three to five minutes is not neces-
sary.

Extended Engine Shutdown

When the motorhome has been sitting for extended periods, 30 days or more, verify all the fluid
levels are correct. Follow the normal starting procedures. If the oil pressure gauge does not register
within 15 seconds, shut off the engine immediately to avoid damage. Consult the engine manufacturer
owner's manual for guidelines on troubleshooting low oil pressure, or contact a qualified service
technician. Allow the engine to idle for five minutes before operating under a load.
