Advantages:
This feature allows the customer to take advantage
of the built-in “maintenance due” reminder feature of
the engine electronics while maintaining PM intervals
tailored to specifi c operation. For instance, an extended
oil change interval may have been developed with the
careful use of Scheduled Oil Sampling. The ECM can
then be programmed to the extended interval.
Disadvantages:
The customer specifi ed PM interval may not be the
optimum maintenance interval. Maintenance intervals
based on older technology engines may be too short and
can raise the total cost of ownership.
Recommendations:
✔ For most on-highway applications use of the
Automatic-Distance mode is the most effective
means to mange preventative maintenance.
