2015 chevy duramax question

I know nothing about the chevy duramax, I personally own a 98 dodge cummins so I am turning to my fellow comp d members for some advice. For my work I just received a 2015 chevy Silverado cab and chassis, 3500 single rear wheel, w/Allison 6sp auto. I am putting an aluminum dumping flatbed on it sometime this month. the truck only has 7 miles on it so I know nothing about it yet. I was putting the tags on it today and noticed on the display that it said "diesel fuel additive OK". does this engine require a dpf fluid? I don't see a fill spot anywhere but this truck is all new to me. also is there anything I should be concerned about with this engine/truck? what is the service interval on a new truck like this? any tips or advice would be great. thanks in advance
