Introduction BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust themselves to other parts. Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 kilometers) before towing a trailer. Make sure you use the specified engine oil by checking the engine oil specification chart under Engine oil in the Maintenance chapter. Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance chapter of this supplement for more information on oil usage. DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION The diesel engine fuel system is a pressurized two-stage filtration system and consists of: • a frame-mounted diesel fuel conditioner module (DFCM) / primary filter with an electric fuel pump and water drain, • an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter, • a fuel injector for each cylinder (8 total), • a high-pressure fuel pump, • a high-pressure fuel rail for each cylinder bank (2 total) and • numerous high-pressure pipes from the high-pressure pump to the rails, and rails to the injectors. The DFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine mounted filter filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The engine-mounted fuel filter and the DFCM filter should be changed at the recommended service interval or when indicated by the information display LOW FUEL PRESSURE message. Refer to the scheduled maintenance information in this supplement for more information. The DFCM should be drained at regular intervals (recommended at every oil change) or when indicated by the information display and water in fuel indicator light. See Fuel filter/water separator in the Fuel and refueling chapter. 3 2013 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles
(1,600 kilometers) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow
parts to adjust themselves to other parts.
Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 kilometers) before towing
a trailer. Make sure you use the specified engine oil by checking the
engine oil specification chart under
Engine oil
in the
Maintenance
chapter.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during
the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these
additives may prevent piston ring seating. See
Engine oil
in the
Maintenance
chapter of this supplement for more information on oil
usage.
DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION
The diesel engine fuel system is a pressurized two-stage filtration system
and consists of:
•
a frame-mounted diesel fuel conditioner module (DFCM) / primary
filter with an electric fuel pump and water drain,
•
an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter,
•
a fuel injector for each cylinder (8 total),
•
a high-pressure fuel pump,
•
a high-pressure fuel rail for each cylinder bank (2 total) and
•
numerous high-pressure pipes from the high-pressure pump to the
rails, and rails to the injectors.
The DFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which removes
both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine mounted filter filters
finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The engine-mounted fuel filter and
the DFCM filter should be changed at the recommended service interval
or when indicated by the information display
LOW FUEL PRESSURE
message. Refer to the
scheduled maintenance information
in this
supplement for more information.
The DFCM should be drained at regular intervals (recommended at
every oil change) or when indicated by the information display and water
in fuel indicator light. See
Fuel filter/water separator
in the
Fuel and
refueling
chapter.
