Component Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts
Fuel Selection (6.7L Turbo Diesel
Engine)
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your vehicle. Fed-
eral law requires that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur High-
way Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of Low Sul-
fur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to the
emissions control system. For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel
meeting ASTM specification D-975 Grade S15 will provide good perfor-
mance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 20°F or -7°C), or is
required to operate at colder-than-normal conditions for prolonged periods,
use climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50% No.
1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection from fuel gelling or wax-
plugging of the fuel filters. This vehicle is fully compatible with biodiesel
blends up to 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-975.
