Hello folks,
I have been a new owner of the ED for the last two or three weeks and have some general questions and some do's and don’ts questions....
1) DEF Fluid - I have seen some folks say that I can buy DEF fluid at a "pump" at truck stops, I haven’t seen these locally, are they just like a fuel pump but for DEF? Are they normally found at Truck stops or it is specific to the type/brand of Stop? I have only seen it the large case or barrel.
2) I was sitting at the gas Bar this week waiting for a patron to use the self-service pay at the pump effectively blocking my access to the diesel pump and I look over and see all 6 transport Truck bays open with diesel pumps just waiting to be used... I didn’t go for them cause I thought it was just for the Truckers, but is it ok to pull up in there like a boss and avoid the lines?
3) I am just rounding on 3500 KM on the truck and I noticed last night when I had the radio off that I can hear a winding sound (sounds like a turbo whine/spooling) that I didn’t notice before. Will the turbo get louder as it breaks in? (Driving was in town, multiple stop and go, hear it as rev's increase only).
4) Oil changes: I keep hearing folks on the forums say change at 10,000 miles, but my dealer is saying at 7 – 10,000 km, which is a big different between KM to Miles. Any experienced diesel users please comment.
