When to Change Oil
Refer to DDC-SVC-BRO-0001 for more information.
The length of time an engine may operate before an oil change depends upon the
lubricant and fuel used, engine oil consumption, and the operating cycle.
CAUTION: USED ENGINE OIL
To avoid injury to skin from contact with the contaminants in used
engine oil, wear protective gloves and apron.
Oil analysis may be used to determine whether this interval should be shortened,
but it should not be used to lengthen the interval.
The use of fuels with sulfur content above 0.05 mass percent will require a
shortening of drain intervals. For more information refer to DDC-SVC-
BRO-0001.
Disposal of Waste Oil
Used lubricating oil and filters require disposal in an environmentally responsible
manner, according to federal and/or state recommendations. The disposal of waste
oil may be best addressed by the engine oil supplier, who may accept responsibility
for proper disposal of this material as part of the business of providing lubricant.
How to Replace the Lubricating Oil and Oil Filter
The oil filter is an integral part of the lubrication system. Proper filter selection and
maintenance are important to satisfactory engine performance and service life. The
filter should be used to maintain a clean system, not to clean up a contaminated
system. The maintenance intervals for the appropriate duty cycle are listed in tables
in this manual.
Change the oil and replace the lubricating oil filter as follows:
NOTE: If the used oil was contaminated by fuel or coolant, it may be
necessary to take the vehicle to a certified Detroit Service Center. The
Service Center may drain the oil and then remove the oil pan, oil pump, and
oil pump intake manifold to drain the remaining oil held back by the
backflow valve. It is important to remove all contaminated oil from the
engine.
