MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Use good quality diesel fuel from a repu-
table 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.
We recommend you use a blend of up to
5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM specifica-
tion D-975 with your diesel engine.
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 die-
sel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This
will provide better protection from fuel
gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filter.
This vehicle is compatible with biodiesel
blends greater than 5% but no greater than
20% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification
D-7467 provided the shortened maintenance
intervals are followed as directed.
