Short Haul service applies to vehicles that annually travel up to 60,000 miles (96,000 km), average between 6.5 and 8.5 miles per gallon and operate under normal conditions. Examples of Short Haul service are operation primarily in cities and densely populated areas, local transport with infrequent freeway travel, or a high percentage of stop-and-go travel.

Diesel Particulate Filter**

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 every 150,000 miles (241,000 km) (5,000 hrs)*

DEF Pump Filter Replace every 500,000 miles (805,000 km) (10,000 hrs) (3 years)*
Air Compressor Inspect every 55,000 miles (88,000 km) (1,800 hrs) (18 months)*

*Whichever comes first. Note: Reaching the Davco change line supersedes these intervals.

**Detroit highly recommends exchanging the DPF with a Detroit™ genuine DPF to ensure maximum life.

  • Currently, only Detroit™ Fuel Filter/Water Separator & Davco 245 or Racor 6600 are the only frame-mounted filtration systems compatible for Detroit™ Engines.
  • Refer to "Routine Preventive Maintenance" for a description of all items.
