Along the less-restrictive emission standards, the fear of turbocharger-related failures could explain why the DW8 with natural aspiration and indirect injection remained available for longer in Argentina and Uruguay. Turbocharged engines do require better care, most noticeably when it comes to oil specifications, but it's impossible to not look after and expect any engine to retain a good reliability.

The EW/DW engine series were in fact an improvement of the XU/XUD series.
