388 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspection and service should also be
performed anytime a malfunction is observed or
suspected. Retain all receipts.
NOTE:
Using white lithium grease, lubricate the door
hinge pivot joints twice a year to prevent prema-
ture wear.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR SYSTEM
C
UMMINS DIESEL
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. This system will alert
you when it is time to change your engine oil by
displaying the words “Oil Change Due” in your
instrument cluster display. The oil change
reminder will remind the owner to change the
engine oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or
500 hours, whichever comes first, except for
the Chassis Cab models configured with
optional B20 capability that are using greater
than 5% levels of biodiesel, which are
12,500 miles (20,000 km) or 400 hours,
whichever comes first. Failure to change the
engine oil per the maintenance schedule can
result in internal engine damage.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is
performed by someone other than an authorized
dealer, the message can be reset by referring to
the steps described under “Instrument Cluster
Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
Replace the engine oil and oil filter every
15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months, or
sooner if prompted by the oil change indicator
system. Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) or 12 months, whichever
comes first.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 15,000 miles (24,000 km)
or 12 months or 500 hours, whichever
comes first.
Replace the engine oil and oil filter every
12,500 miles (20,000 km) or 400 hours,
whichever comes first when running greater
than 5% levels of biodiesel (Chassis Cab
models configured with optional B20 capa-
bility).
If Chassis Cab models configured with optional
B20 capability are operated with greater than
5% levels of biodiesel, the oil change interval
must not exceed 12,500 miles (20,000 km) or
400 hours, whichever comes first under any
circumstances. See the Fuel Requirements
section for more information regarding
operation with biodiesel blend (B6-B20) fuel
meeting ASTM specification D-7467.
PERFORM SERVICE INDICATOR
C
UMMINS DIESEL
Your vehicle will require emissions
maintenance at a set interval. To help remind
you when this maintenance is due, the
instrument cluster will display “Perform
Service”. When the “Perform Service” message
is displayed on the instrument cluster it is
necessary to have the emissions maintenance
performed. Emissions maintenance may
include replacing the Closed Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) filter element. The procedure
for clearing and resetting the “Perform Service”
indicator message is located in the appropriate
Service Information.
