Oil Drain Intervals for Specific Regions Outside of US or Canada

The oil drain intervals for the engines listed in the tables below are based on engines operating in specific regions with or without Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel (below 15 ppm) with a Detroit Fluids Specification DFS 93K222, DFS 93K218 and DFS 93K214 approved oil. API CK-4/CJ-4/CI-4 PLUS or equivalent certified oil that is not Detroit Fluids Specification approved may be used at reduced drain intervals. These intervals should be considered as maximum and should not be exceeded.

**Long Haul (over-the-road transport) service applies to vehicles that annually travel more than 60,000 miles (96,000 kilometers) and average greater than 6.0 miles per gallon with minimal city stop-and-go operation.

†Short Haul service applies to vehicles that annually travel up to 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 kilometers) and average between 5.1 and 5.9 miles per gallon.
‡Severe applies to vehicles that annually travel up to 30,000 miles (48,000 kilometers) or average less than 5 miles per gallon or that operate under severe conditions. Severe service also applies to RV applications. Only one of these conditions needs to be met to categorize an application as Severe Service.
