On the basis of long-term test results and in order to conform to the wishes of fleet/large-scale customers regarding extended oil change intervals, the engine oil and oil filter change intervals for the engines specified above have been extended from previously every 12 months / 7,500 km/4,500 miles to every 12 months / 15,000 km/9,000 miles for all customers.

 

 

For the remaining diesel engines - e.g. X 15 DT (T4 EC 1), 25 DT - the tests have not yet been completed.

 

 

Important:

 

The engine oil quality must conform to CCMC-G5/PD2 for easy run oils (energy conserving oil); this is also possible in conjunction with API.../..., provided that CCMC-G5/PD2 is also specified on the container.

 

 

Important:

 

For the X 17 DT (TC 4 EE 1) diesel engine, the engine oil capacity (incl. filter change) is altered to 5.0 litres as of Model Year '96.

MIN to MAX remains 1.0 litre.
