Preventive Maintenance<br />
Lubrication Specifications<br />
You will find a complete Engine Lubrication Service Guide in<br />
the Engine Operation and Maintenance <strong>Manual</strong>. There, the<br />
engine manufacturer explains more fully all the maintenance<br />
operations you and a qualified service mechanic will need.<br />
And please remember: one key to keeping your <strong>Medium</strong> <strong>Duty</strong><br />
running at top economy and in prolonging its life is proper<br />
lubrication servicing. Neglecting this essential aspect of vehicle<br />
care can cost time and money in the long run.<br />
Maintenance Schedule and Lubrication<br />
Below you will find basic information needed to perform routine<br />
vehicle lubrication. Of course you will want to schedule<br />
service more frequently if you are operating under severe<br />
conditions such as extreme heat or cold, with very heavy<br />
loads, rough roads, etc. For any special service requirements,<br />
consult your service manuals and your lubricant supplier.<br />
The component manufacturer's specification and<br />
requirements take precedence over other specifications.<br />
WARNING! Handle lubricants carefully. Vehicle<br />
lubricants (oil and grease) can be poisonous<br />
and cause sickness. They can also damage the<br />
paint on the vehicle.<br />
CAUTION: Do not mix different types of lubricants.<br />
Mixing lubricants (oil and grease) of different<br />
brands or types could damage vehicle<br />
components; therefore, drain (or remove) old<br />
lubricants from the unit before refilling it.<br />
• When switching between types of lubricants, thoroughly<br />
drain all areas of the component.<br />
