3.6 Countries with elevated sulphur content
in diesel fuel
Only applies to diesel engines: In some countries, the amount of
sulphur in diesel is higher. The high sulphur content leads to ex‐
cessive wear of cylinders and it considerably reduces the clean‐
liness of pistons. Therefore, in countries with elevated sulphur
content in diesel fuel, change engine oil every 7,500 km.
