    Oil Change Interval

    The oil change interval for the 2025 International LT depends on the duty cycle of the truck.

    • Normal Duty: For trucks operating under normal conditions, the recommended oil change interval is up to 100,000 miles (160,000 km). This is dependent on the results of oil sample analysis. Always consult your owner's manual and engine manufacturer's recommendations.
    • Severe Duty: For trucks operating under severe conditions, such as frequent idling, heavy loads, or dusty environments, the recommended oil change interval is 25,000 to 35,000 miles (40,000 to 56,000 km). Again, oil sample analysis is the best way to determine the appropriate interval.

    Drain Plug Torque

    The recommended drain plug torque for the 2025 International LT is 37 ft-lbs (50 Nm). Always use a new crush washer to ensure a proper seal.

    How to Change the Oil

    1. Run the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil.
    2. Park the truck on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
    3. Place a drain pan under the oil pan.
    4. Remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain completely.
    5. Remove the old oil filter. Be sure to have a drain pan ready to catch any residual oil.
    6. Apply a thin layer of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter.
    7. Install the new oil filter and tighten it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    8. Install the drain plug with a new crush washer and torque it to 37 ft-lbs (50 Nm).
    9. Fill the engine with 42 quarts (39.8 liters) of new 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil.
    10. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil.
    11. Check the oil level and add more if necessary.
    12. Dispose of the old oil and filter properly.

    Common Issues / Tips

    • The International S13 engine is known for its fuel efficiency and long service intervals. To maximize the life of your engine, it is important to use the correct oil and to follow the recommended oil change intervals.
    • Oil sample analysis is a great way to monitor the health of your engine and to determine the optimal oil change interval for your specific operating conditions.
    • When changing the oil, be sure to use a high-quality oil filter. A cheap oil filter can clog easily and restrict oil flow, which can lead to engine damage.
    • Always use a new crush washer when installing the drain plug. This will help to prevent leaks.
