* Larger filter contaminant holding capacity extends filter life and can support extended service intervals.
** For X15 Line Haul applications pursuing extended service intervals above 60k miles, the minimum
recommended filter contaminant holding capacity is 128 gram. For detailed information refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Manual.
New suction side filter requirements were determined for B and L engines meeting EPA 2017 emissions. New
suction side filter requirements were determined for ISB 2.8 engines meeting NS6 emissions. Refer to Table 2b.
