The fuel filter should be replaced every 4 years or 60,000 miles (96,000 km), whichever comes first.
Have a qualified mechanic change the fuel filter. Since the fuel system is under pressure, fuel can spray out and create a hazard if all fuel line connections are not handled correctly.
The filter may require replacement sooner if you happen to buy one or more tankfuls of contaminated fuel. Have the filter tested or replaced if you suspect it has been clogged by contaminants.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-01-027A (Section 06 — Engine/Propulsion System). Information on Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines for the 6.6L
Duramax Diesel Engine
All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the combustion process, part of this oil layer is consumed. As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all engines.

The way you maintain your car should take into account the conditions in which you drive. According to AAA, too many drivers underestimate the severity of their driving habits. As a result, they follow the wrong maintenance schedule. When polled recently by AAA, only 6% of motorists felt they did most of their driving under severe driving conditions.
