The us
se of a synthhetic base oil does no
ot justify exttended oil
change
e intervals. Extended oil
o change iintervals ca an decrease e
engine life due to factors suc
ch as corrossion, depossits, and weear.

CAUTIO
C ON

Do not extend oil change inte

ervals beyoond the maxximum poin nt
shown when fuel consumptio on rates are
e less than the minimu um
shown. Doing so can
c result in shortenedd engine liffe due to oil
degrad
dation proceesses associated with lightly load
ded enginess.

Do not extend
e oil and
a filter change intervvals beyond d those
specified
d configurattions in the maintenan nce schedule, unless tthe
chart meethod is useed. See thee oil intervall charts in tthis section.

The chart method provides
