If the engine has too much operating time at idle, constant speeds, and/or light load usage, or make-up oil is required during the first 100-hour period, a longer break-in period may be needed without changing Break-In Plus oil until 500 hours.

If diesel fuel has a high sulfur content, refer to Diesel Engine Oil in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolants section.
