Maintenance
Lubrication system
Oil change intervals can vary between 40 and 500 hours depending on the quality of the lubricant and the sul-
phur content of the fuel. Note that the oil change interval should never be longer than 12 months.
If longer intervals are required than those stated in the table below, the condition of the oil must be tested regular-
ly by the oil manufacturer.

NOTE! Mineral-based and semi and fully synthetic oils may be used as long as they fulfil the above require-
ments.
If the 6 and 7-litre engines are equipped with low profile type oil pans, the oil change interval must be halved.
Oil with TBN 14–20 must be used.
