Diesel Engine Oil Service Interval for Operation at High Altitude
To avoid excessive oil degradation and potential engine damage,
reduce oil and filter service intervals to 50% of the original recommended
values when operating engines at altitudes above 1675 m (5500 ft).
Oil analysis may allow longer service intervals.
Use only approved oil types.
