NOTE:

• Use of Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel or

Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel results in a

noticeable decrease in fuel economy.

• Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel is a blend of

Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur and Number 1 Ultra Low

Sulfur Diesel Fuels which reduces the temperature at

which wax crystals form in fuel.

• The fuel grade should be clearly marked on the pump

at the fuel station.

• The engine requires the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur

Diesel Fuel”

. Use of incorrect fuel could result in

engine and exhaust system damage. Refer to “Fuel

Requirements” in “Starting And Operating” for fur-

ther information.

Engine Oil Usage
Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for the correct engine oil viscosity.
Engine Warm-Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is cold.

When starting a cold engine, bring the engine up to

operating speed slowly to allow the oil pressure to

stabilize as the engine warms up.
If temperatures are below 32°F (0°C), operate the engine

at moderate speeds for five minutes before full loads are

applied.
