Fluid: API CK-4 / CJ-4 heavy-duty oil, SAE 10W-30 (PACCAR MX engines) (PACCAR Engine Service Bulletin E256, MX-13 and MX-11 oil change intervals (Kenworth, 12/2019))
Cummins-engined T800s follow the Cummins operation and maintenance manual.
A T800 in vocational work counts as severe duty, so its oil change comes at 48,000 km, not the line-haul figure; go by fuel used and hours too.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
