Hino Australia is advising truck owners that the best way to ensure the long-term reliability of their Hino truck’s engine and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions control system is to use Hino Genuine AdBlue®.
AdBlue® is required in Hino 700 Series trucks that use SCR systems to meet the current regulations, and using ‘Pirate’ AdBlue® from non-authorised sources can easily damage the AdBlue® dosing unit and/or the DCR muffler unit.
Failure of the AdBlue® dosing unit (and therefore the SCR system) can lead to a harmful rise in NOx emissions levels, while SCR system failure can lead to significantly reduced engine power output due to the truck’s ECU registering increased emission output.
Hino diesel engines require specifically graded lubricants to ensure optimal performance and durability; use of incorrect engine oils has the potential to block the catalyst system, cause premature wear and even increase fuel consumption.
