Refer to KSD2 for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.
S63 Engine:
Work time labor operation code 11 99 000 is not considered a Main labor operation. Also, since the
“work time” FRU allowance to be claimed is specified, a separate punch time is not required.
*If the vehicle has a “active” maintenance program and the “Engine oil” Service task shows
