Only use DEF according to ISO 22241. Do
not add special additives to DEF or dilute it
with water. This can damage the BlueEFFI-

exhaust gas aftertreatment. Description of maintenance work for
the exhaust system
The composition of exhaust emissions is
influenced not only by the exhaust gas after-
treatment system, but also by various engine
parts and their settings.
Maintenance of the exhaust system must
therefore include these engine parts. Some
maintenance jobs are actually only tests.
They are important, however, because they
allow early detection of discrepancies which
can later lead to increased exhaust emis-
sions. It is generally less costly to adjust devi- ations of this sort immediately than to wait
until they incur high repair costs. The main-
tenance intervals have been determined so
that the vehicle, under normal operating con- ditions, should operate properly between
maintenance services. Changing the engine oil and filter
Change engine oil and replace oil filters after every 20,000 miles. If oil consumption should
increase, determine the cause and take nec-
essary corrective steps. Do not reset the ser-
vice interval display if the oil level is filled up
or the oil is changed at times other than the
recommended intervals. Replacing the air filter
Under normal dust conditions, the air filter
should be replaced every 60,000 miles. Clean
the air filter cap and housing before removing the air filter. Replacing the fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter every 20,000 miles. Checking the diesel particle filter
The level of the diesel particle filter must be
checked for the first time at 100,000 miles.
If the saturation level is still below the thresh- old value at 100,000 miles, the saturation
level of the diesel particle filter must be
checked again at each subsequent oil service
plus/maintenance service.
If the level of the diesel particle filter is above the limit value, the diesel particle filter should
be replaced.
Once the new diesel particle filter has been
installed, the checking cycle starts again after
100,000 miles. Checking and adding DEF
Check and refill DEF every 20,000 miles. Maintenance service
