TM 5-3895-346-14
FUEL AND OIL SPECIFICATIONS
ENGINE OVERHAUL
NOTE
The manufacturer's warranty applicable to Detroit Diesel engines provides in part
that the provisions of such warranty shall not apply to any engine unit which has
been subject to misuse, negligence or accident. Accordingly, malfunctions
attributable to neglect or failure to follow the manufacturer's fuel or lubricating
recommendations may not be within the coverage of the warranty.
SERVICE AND INSPECTION INTERVALS
Generally, operating conditions will vary for each engine application, even with comparable mileage or hours
and therefore, maintenance schedules can vary. A good rule of thumb for piston ring and liner inspections,
however, would be at 45,000 miles or 1500 hours for the first such inspection and at 30,000 miles or 1000 hour
intervals thereafter.
