Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals (Jet Fuel Capable Engines Only)

The oil and filter service interval information in the following chart should be used as a guideline. Actual service intervals depend on operation and maintenance practices. Use oil analysis to determine the actual useful life of the oil and to aid in selection of the proper oil and filter service interval. Oil and filter service intervals are based on a combination of oil pan capacity, type of engine oil and filter used, and sulfur content of the fuel.
