4. Install the new filter element.
5. Reinstall and tighten the filter container and
reconnect the water sensor wire to the filter.
6. Use the fuel filter priming procedure earlier in this
section to prime the fuel filter.
7. Tighten the air bleed valve by turning it clockwise
until hand-tight.
8. Start the engine and let it idle for five minutes.
Check the fuel filter and air bleed valve for leaks.
How to Reset Fuel Filter Change
Light - DURAMAX 6.6L (LMM) Engine
The engine controller calculates when to change the fuel
filter based on vehicle and fuel use. Whenever the
fuel filter is changed, reset the fuel filter light so
the engine controller can calculate when the next fuel
filter change is required. If the fuel filter is ever changed
prior to a change fuel filter light being turned on,
reset the fuel filter change light.To reset the Fuel Filter Change light:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off
2. Fully press the accelerator and brake pedals at the
same time for 10 seconds. If the Fuel Filter Change
light flashes for 5 seconds, the system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the Fuel Filter Change light comes back on when you
start the vehicle, the light has not been reset. Repeat
the procedure. SeeChange Fuel Filter Warning Light on
page 3-45for more information.
Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country outside the
United States or Canada, the proper fuel might be hard
to find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel
not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly
repairs caused by use of improper fuel would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
To check the fuel availability, ask an auto club, or
contact a major oil company that does business in the
country where you will be driving.

To reset the change engine oil light:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly
three times within 10 seconds.
If the change engine oil light flashes for
five seconds, the system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not
reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer’s
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a
place that collects used oil.
Engine Oil Life System
(DURAMAX/Isuzu Diesel Engines)
When to Change Engine Oil
If the vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System, it has a
computer system that indicates when to change
the engine oil and filter. This is based on injection timing,
engine load, and engine temperature, and not on
mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at
which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably.
For the oil life system to work properly, the system
must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been
diminished, it indicates that an oil change is necessary.
A change engine oil light comes on. SeeChange Engine
Oil Light on page 3-39. Change the oil as soon as
possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km) or 30 hours
of engine operation, whichever occurs first. It is possible
that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system
might not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over
a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the system
must be reset. Your dealer/retailer has trained service
people who will perform this work using genuine parts
and reset the system. It is also important to check the oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level.
5-36

If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be
changed at 15,000 miles (24 000 km), or 150 hours
of engine operation, whichever occurs first, since the last
oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system
whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change
the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever
the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate
when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs
where oil is changed prior to a change engine oil light
being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the Engine Oil Life System:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly
three times within five seconds.
If the change engine oil light is turned off, the
system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF.If the change engine oil light comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the Engine Oil Life System has
not reset. Repeat the procedure.

Engine Oil Life System (Caterpillar
Diesel Engine)
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change
the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever
the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate
when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs
where the oil is changed prior to a change engine oil light
being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the Engine Oil Life System:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully apply and hold the brake pedal while fully
pressing and releasing the accelerator pedal,
pausing slightly at each press and each release,
three times within five seconds.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the Engine Oil Life System has
not reset. Repeat the procedure.

Brakes
Brake Fluid
If the vehicle has hydraulic
brakes, there is a brake
master cylinder in the
engine compartment on the
driver side of the vehicle.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when
to check the brake fluid.
{CAUTION:
Do not add brake fluid before checking the level or
there could be too much brake fluid. Brake fluid
could spill on the hot engine and it can catch fire.
You could be burned and the vehicle could be
damaged. See “Checking Brake Fluid” in this
section.
Checking Brake Fluid
Apply the brake pedal several times with the ignition off.
The brake fluid reservoir is in the engine compartment on
the driver side of the vehicle. Clean one of the reservoir
caps and the area around the cap, and remove it.

2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would not be able
to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set the
parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in the
jump start procedure. Put an automatic transmission
in P (PARK) or a manual transmission in N (Neutral)
before setting the parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer case
is in a drive gear, not in N (Neutral).
Notice:If you leave the radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the radio and other
accessories when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlets. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries, and
it could save the radio!4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate the
positive (+) and the negative (−) terminal locations
on that vehicle.
Open the hood on your
vehicle and find the remote
positive (+) terminal,
located under a red plastic
cover on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle.
Squeeze the tab to open
the cover and access the
remote positive (+)
terminal.
You will not see the battery (or batteries) of your
vehicle under the hood. They are located in a frame
mounted battery box, which is located on either
the driver’s or the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery (or
batteries) for jump starting. The remote positive (+)
terminal is for that purpose.
