fluid. Oil change must be performed

with the vehicle on a flat and level surface and
with parking brake applied. Oil and oil filter
change frequency is determined by the severity of
service and operating conditions of the
transmission and by the filter equipment installed.
See

"TABLE 1, TABLE 2 or TABLE 3 "

for oil and

filter change intervals. More frequent changes
may be required when operations are subject to
high levels of contamination or overheating.
Filters must be changed at or before
recommended intervals.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Allison Transmission recommends that
customers use fluid analysis as the primary
method for determining fluid change intervals.
Many customers have a systematical annual
transmission fluid change while, in many cases,
fluid analysis could demonstrate that the
transmission fluid is still in good condition and a
fluid change is not required. In the absence of a
fluid analysis program, the fluid change interval
listed in TABLE 1, TABLE 2 & TABLE 3 should
be used.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Your transmission is equipped with

High

Capacity filters

. High Capacity filters allow for

increased fluid and filter change intervals in
transmissions utilizing TES 295 approved
fluid/TranSynd™. High Capacity filters eliminate
the requirement of the initial 5000 miles
(8000km) main filter change.
Former Gold Series filter kits are completely
cancelled and serviced with current High
Capacity filter kits. However, if you are using
stocked Gold Series filter kits with TES 295
approved fluid/TranSynd™, use TABLE 2 for oil
and filter change intervals.

Oil And Filter Change Interval With

Prognostics Mode Enabled

Oil Life Monitor and Filter Life Monitor of the
Prognostics mode provide indicators of required
maintenance actions. They are designed to
maximize fluid and filter utilization.

Prognostics

enabled requires the use of 100%
TranSynd™ or an Allison approved TES-295

transmission fluid and Allison High Capacity

filters

. If any other fluids or filters are used,

Prognostic mode

must be disabled

. Prognostic

information will not be accurate with any other
fluids or filters and could result in missed
maintenance activities resulting in transmission
damage.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The following schedule is to be used with
Prognostics enabled.

100% concentration of TES-295 Allison
approved fluids and Allison High Capacity
Filters is

required

. Less than 100%

concentration of TES-295 Allison approved
fluids are considered a mixture and shall not be
used with Prognostics mode or this change
schedule. Utilization of previous Non-TES 295
fluid/filter change intervals (Table 1) is required.
