Series 60^® Reliability

Saddle up a Workhorse

Trust, confidence, peace of mind — call it what you want, but thousands of drivers agree: the Series 60^® reliability is like nothing else on the road. With our one-millionth engine hitting the highway this year, we'll bet our reputation that our heavy-duty diesel is as durable and dependable as they come.

Still Walking the Walk

When you want to get it done, count on the Series 60 for dependable power, hassle-free maintenance, excellent fuel economy and more.

Real-time Control

It's always in your best interest to know what's going on under the hood at all times. Precision monitoring for the Series 60 comes compliments of the enhanced DDEC VI electronic controls, which keep your rig on schedule and your mind at ease.

Easy Maintenance

It's simple, spend less time maintaining your engine and more money finds its way into your pocket. The powerful, lightweight Series 60 boasts one of the best ratings in the business for serviceability and ease of maintenance. And this hard worker only needs servicing every 30,000 miles* — so you can trade shop time for more road time.

Please Note: Service Intervals change with driving conditions and loads. For intervals that are more specific to your driving conditions, contact your Detroit Diesel Distributor.

Expert Service Far and Wide

Another benefit of powering your rig with one of the most popular heavy-duty diesel engines in history: More than 10,000 technicians have received Series 60 training through the Detroit Diesel G2 Training Program — named one of America's top 125 by Training Magazine. And you can tap their expertise at over 800 authorized Detroit Diesel service outlets.

Committed to Longer Engine Life

We want to keep your Series 60 tuned, tight and running smart. If you're thinking about an overhaul, our StepUP™ Overhaul Program offers four distinct options to help extend your engine's life. Because we package a number of critical components into each option, you save valuable time normally spent chasing down and installing individual parts.

Cleaner Operation

The Series 60's maintenance-free electrostatic breather removes oil from crankcase vapor before it's discharged from the engine. This not only helps reduce harmful emissions, but also recycles the oil droplets back to the engine where they can keep doing their job. And no maintenance means you're not spending money to service this component every 3-5 oil changes, as required by other manufacturers.

Comprehensive Protection

The Series 60 is backed by a hard-working warranty that includes 100% parts and labor for two years, unlimited miles and 5-year/500,000-mile parts coverage on specific major components. Want even more? Extended coverage is also available.
