| (1) Different interval is required for normal and severe service. Severe service is described as trailer towing, off-highway operation, snow removal operation, or operating in dusty or excessively hot conditions. (2) Inspect air filter every 15,000 miles and replace as necessary. Replace at 30,000 miles unless previously replaced during inspection. (3) There is no need to change fluid unless used under severe conditions. (4) Inspect at scheduled interval and replace as necessary. (5) Replace fluid at 15,000 miles. After first fluid change, replace fluid every 30,000 miles thereafter. (6) Inspect water pump (where applicable). |
