Component Intervals †
Aftertreatment Devices Inspect external hardware and connections
every 6 months or at oil change intervals. †
Diesel Particulate Filter
EPA10 & GHG14
A Check Engine Indicator or mileage/time
intervals indicate when ash cleaning is
required. Use DETROIT Diesel Corporation’s
authorized DPF cleaning procedure. Failure
to follow this procedure could result in engine
and/or aftertreatment damage, causing
degraded vehicle performance including
excess fuel consumption and decreased
engine life.
Normal DPF ash clean intervals are 300,000
mi (480,000 km) 9,000 hrs to 400,000 mi
(640,000 km) 10,250 hrs.
Detroit highly recommends exchanging the
DPF with a Detroit™ genuine DPF to ensure
maximum life.
Diesel Particulate Filter
GHG17
A Check Engine Indicator or mileage/time
intervals indicate when ash cleaning is
required. Use DETROIT Diesel Corporation’s
authorized DPF cleaning procedure. Failure
to follow this procedure could result in engine
and/or aftertreatment damage, causing
degraded vehicle performance including
excess fuel consumption and decreased
engine life.
Normal DPF ash clean interval is 500,000 mi
(800,000 km) 11,000 hrs to 550,000 mi
(880,000 km) 11,500 hrs. **
Detroit highly recommends exchanging the
DPF with a Detroit™ genuine DPF to ensure
maximum life.
