Engine Oil Capacity
OEM
Description:
If the Maintenance Indicator Mode parameter has been
programmed for either automatic mode; Automatic-
Distance or Automatic - Hours, then the Engine Oil
Capacity parameter must be programmed to the proper
amount of oil in the engine.
If a device that increases oil capacity, like a remote
mounted bypass fi lter, is added the ECM could be
recommending oil changes more often than warranted
unless the new oil capacity is programmed into the ECM.
With the amount of oil programmed, the ECM can then
calculate when the next Preventive Maintenance (PM)
is due is to compare the actual amount of fuel used to
the engine oil capacity. (This method is based on the fact
that engine oil additives will become depleted over time
based on the amount of fuel burned and oil capacity.)
