24 hours a day at 1 800 463 7738. Introduction The US2010 VOLVO D13H engines meet the very stringent new emissions standards which apply to all heavy-duty diesel engines built after January 1, 2010 for on-highway coaches. The new standards for US 2010 requires 83% reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx). This represents a total reduction of 99% of all emissions from original levels.
Page 570: Fuel
VOLVO Engines Fuel CAUTION Diesel engines for US 2010 vehicles are designed to operate only with ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. Use of fuel other than ULSD will reduce the efficiency and durability of the engine, permanently damage the advanced emission control systems, reduce fuel economy and possibly prevent the engine from running at all.
Page 571: Engine Oil
EO-O Premium Plus (or VDS-4) diesel engine oil is mandatory for use in all US 2010 emission compliant VOLVO engines. Chassis equipped with a US 2010 emission compliant engine, which can be identified by the presence of an Aftertreatment Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, also require the use of ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel.

Page 579 There are multiple methods of reducing these emissions. VOLVO has selected to use a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) with a catalyzed diesel particulate filter. The other uses a diesel particulate filter of a different kind without a DOC and in its place uses a combustion chamber to heat the exhaust mixture thus causing active regeneration.
Page 580: Dpf Systems
VOLVO Engines DPF Systems The VOLVO systems chemically alters soot by high heat into a harmless gas which passes out through the stack pipe. At these high temperatures, the process is relatively rapid (10–12 minutes). Eventually, the filter must be removed to permit clearing away of the ash with special equipment.
Page 581: Selective Catalytic Reduction (Scr)
VOLVO Engines 39 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an emissions-reduction technology with the ability to deliver near-zero emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a smog-causing pollutant and greenhouse gas. SCR's performance has been proved in millions of miles of real-world truck operations in other countries, as well as in long-term field tests in the U.S.

Page 583 The VOLVO SCR system is simple and effective, with few components. It consists of a Aftertreatment DEF tank positioned near the standard diesel tank, plus a Aftertreatment DEF pump, Aftertreatment DEF Dosing unit and SCR catalyst. The advantage of using DEF is that it enables the engine to use less EGR -- and higher oxygen levels -- for better combustion, while meeting the EPA near-zero NOx emissions requirement of 0.2 g/hp-hr...
Page 584: Aftertreatment Hydrocarbon Dosing System
VOLVO Engines Aftertreatment Hydrocarbon Dosing System W2064634 The aftertreatment hydrocarbon dosing system is a part of the exhaust aftertreatment system and is used to increase the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) needed for the aftertreatment system. The dosing system allows diesel fuel to be injected into the exhaust system of the engine to increase the amount of hydrocarbon (HC) released.
Page 585: Diesel Exhaust Fluid (Def)
VOLVO Engines 43 Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a reactant that's key to the SCR process. It's a nontoxic, aqueous solution of 32.5% urea and 67.5% water. Urea is a compound of nitrogen that turns to ammonia when heated. It is used in a variety of industries, perhaps most commonly as a fertilizer in agriculture.

Page 609: Cooling System
Clean up coolant spills immediately. Failure to follow these precautions can cause serious illness or death. CAUTION Prevost and Volvo Bus Corporation does WARNING not recommend using plain water in the cooling system. Water alone is corrosive at engine operating temperatures and does DO NOT raise the engine hood if you see not provide adequate boiling protection.
Page 610 VOLVO Engines The main purpose of coolant is to transport heat from the hot parts of the engine to the radiator and to protect the cooling system from corrosion. In addition to this, the coolant must: • Protect against pitting and cavitation erosion damage of the water pump and cylinder liners.
Page 611 VOLVO Engines 69 A well functioning and maintained cooling system is as important to the engine as performing regular oil changes or using good fuel. To get the best result use quality products and service the system at the correct intervals. Please read this section carefully.
Page 612: Regular Coolant Change Interval
VOLVO Engines Regular Coolant Change Interval Coolant SCA level must be tested at least twice per year or whenever coolant loss occurs. For maximum coolant system efficiency, test the system at every engine oil change interval, every 1,000 hours or every 6 months (whichever comes first). For proper SCA levels, consult Service Manual.
