- †Whichever comes first. Note: Reaching the Davco change line supersedes these intervals.
- *Engine fuel filters should be changed at recommended service intervals, or when the "Fuel
Filter Service Lamp" activates on the dashboard. For maximum life of fuel system
components, it is not recommended to exceed 100k miles on engine fuel filters under any
condition.
- ***Fuel Economy represents overall fuel economy (including idle time)
- ‡Currently, only Detroit™ Fuel Filter/Water Separator & Davco 385/482/485/487 are the
only frame-mounted filtration systems compatible for Detroit™ Engines.
- Refer to "Routine Preventive Maintenance" and "How to Procedures" for a description of all
items.
- NOTE: Actual fuel filter life will vary based on fuel quality.
- NOTE: Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
Catalyst do not require maintenance.
