[1] Fluid capacities are nominal; service refill capacities may vary. Always fill to appropriate dipstick indicator or applicable fill plug level.

[2] 5W-40 engine oil preferred in ambient temperatures greater than 0° F; 0W-30/0W-40 should be substituted if temperature is expected to drop below -20° F. 5W-40 engine oil required if using biodiesel blends in excess of B5. Recommend Amsoil Signature Series Max Duty full synthetic diesel oil for its superior resilience to mechanical, thermal, and chemical breakdown in modern diesel engines, minimizing ash, oil consumption, and providing protection against fuel dilution.

[3] Friction modifier only required for models equipped with limited slip rear differential.

[4] Or other suitable diesel exhaust fluid; do NOT dilute or attempt to dilute DEF.
