Oil Drain Intervals for DD Platform Heavy Duty On-Highway Engines

The oil drain intervals for DD13/15/16 Heavy Duty On-Highway engines listed in the table below are based on engines operating with Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel (below 15 ppm) meeting the properties listed in “Diesel Fuel Properties” table with a Detroit Fluids Specification DFS 93K223, DFS 93K222 or DFS 93K218 approved oil. API FA-4, CK-4 or CJ-4 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.

*Efficient 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 7 miles per gallon with minimal city stop-and-go operation and minimum idle.
**Long Haul (over-the-road transport) service applies to vehicles that annually travel more than 60,000 miles (96,000 kilometers) and average between 6 and 6.9 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 service 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.
