Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter
is located in the center of
the engine compartment.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
If your vehicle has an air
cleaner/filter change
indicator, inspect the
indicator at every
oil change and replace the
filter when the indicator
tells you to.
For vehicles without a change indicator, inspect the air
cleaner/filter at every oil change and replace the filter at
the first oil change after 25,000 miles (40 000 km).
5-35

How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Locate the filter change indicator. When the change
indicator turns black or is in the red/orange change area,
replace the filter and reset the indicator.
To inspect the engine air cleaner/filter, remove the filter
from the vehicle and lightly shake the filter to release
loose dust and dirt. If the filter remains caked with dirt, a
new filter is required.
{CAUTION:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/lter
off can cause you or others to be burned.
The air cleaner not only cleans the air; it helps
to stop ames if the engine backres. If it is
not there and the engine backres, you could
be burned. Do not drive with it off, and be
careful working on the engine with the air
cleaner/lter off.
Notice:If the air cleaner/lter is off, a backre can
cause a damaging engine re. And, dirt can easily get
into your engine, which will damage it. Always have
the air cleaner/lter in place when you are driving.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
When to Check
A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid
level is when the engine oil is checked. See your
Allison Automatic Transmission Operator’s Manual to
find out when to change your transmission fluid
and filters.
How to Check and What to Use
The Allison Automatic Transmission Operator’s Manual
that came with the vehicle shows how to check the
automatic transmission fluid and what fluid to use.
Automatic Transmission External Filter
Your automatic transmission filter requires periodic
replacement.
Consult the Allison Automatic Transmission Operator’s
Manual that came with the vehicle for proper change
intervals.

Primary Fuel Filter and
Water Separator
If you have a diesel
engine, you may have this
spin-on filter. It is located
on the driver’s side
frame rail.
It has a clear plastic drain bowl at the bottom. Check
the drain bowl occasionally for any water or particles.
To drain the bowl, do the following:
1. Shut off the engine.
2. Partially open the drain valve at the bottom of
the filter.
SeeEngine Oil (Caterpillar
®Diesel Engine) on
page 5-24orEngine Oil (DURAMAX®Diesel) on
page 5-24orEngine Oil (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-28
for proper disposal procedures.
Secondary Fuel Filter and
Water Separator/Heater
(Caterpillar
®Diesel)
If you have a Caterpillar®
diesel engine, you may
also have this spin-on filter
and fuel separator/heater.
It will be mounted in
the engine compartment
on the driver’s side of
the vehicle.
It has a metal drain bowl at the bottom. Occasionally,
check the bowl for any water or particles.
To check or drain the bowl, do the following:
•Shut off the engine.
•Push up on the spring loaded drain valve until clear
fuel is flowing from the valve.
The particles or water will drain out first. SeeEngine Oil
(Caterpillar
®Diesel Engine) on page 5-24orEngine

Check fill level on the oil indicator after initial fill to make sure it is actually full. Oil level may vary depending on
vehicle option content.
1Additional oil is required with auxiliary oil filter systems. Make sure to add enough extra oil to fill the auxiliary oil
filter system. For vehicles equipped with the LUBERFINER 750-C, add 14 quarts (13.25 L).
