LUBRICATION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The Lubrication and Preventive Maintenance Schedule is intended as a guide for the vehicle owner in
establishing his own preventive maintenance schedule. The suggestions and recommendations for
preventive maintenance should be followed as closely as possible to obtain long life and best performance
from a Detroit Diesel engine. The intervals indicated on the chart are time or miles (in thousands) of actual
operation.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE EXPLANATION
The time or mileage increments shown apply only to the maintenance function described. These
functions should be coordinated with other regularly scheduled vehicle maintenance such as chassis
lubrication.
Maintenance functions I through 5 should be performed daily. Items 6 through 10 should be performed at
4,000 to 6,000 mile intervals. Items II through 32 should be performed at the intervals (whichever comes
first, the time or mileage increments) as shown in the chart. Items 33 through 37 should be performed
annually and item 38 should be performed as required.
Instructions on the pages following the chart describe the maintenance function involved.
