Maintenance, Aftertreatment Systems
Notice: Follow these guidelines for engines that comply with EPA07 or newer regulations, or damage may occur to the aftertreatment device (ATD) and the warranty may be compromised.
-
Use ultralow-sulfur diesel with 15 ppm sulfur content or less.
-
Do not use fuel blended with used engine lube oil or kerosene.
-
Use only approved engine lube oil. For lists of engine oils approved for Detroit Diesel engines, refer to the Engine Operator Manual, accessible on Lubricants, Fuels & Coolants on the DTNA Portal. For third party engines, please refer to the engine manual.
Important: Using non-specification fuels or oils can lead to shortened diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning or replacement intervals.
Important: See the engine manufacturer's operation manual for complete details and operation of the ATS.
Authorized service facilities must perform any DPF service. For warranty purposes, maintain a record that includes:
-
date of cleaning or replacement;
-
vehicle mileage;
-
particulate filter part number and serial number.
