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.
