MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Component
Fuel Selection 6.7L
Turbo Diesel
94
Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Use good quality diesel fuel from a
reputable supplier in your vehicle.
Federal law requires that you must
fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm
Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the
use of Low Sulfur Highway Diesel
fuel (500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to
avoid damage to the emissions
control system. For most
year-round service, No. 2 diesel
fuel meeting ASTM specification
D-975 Grade S15 will provide
good performance. If the vehicle is
exposed to extreme cold (below
20°F or -7°C), or is required to
operate at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged periods,
use climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or
dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with
50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will
provide better protection from fuel
gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel
filters. This vehicle is fully
compatible with biodiesel blends
up to 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM
specification D-975.
