SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil
change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illumina te in the
instrument cluster. This means that service is
required for your vehicle. Opera ting conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and
extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will
influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change
Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating
Conditions can cause the change oil message to
illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since
last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the scheduled
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed
by someone other than your authorized dealer,
the message can be reset by referring to the steps
described under “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To KnowYour Instrument Panel” in your
Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), twelve months
or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes
first. The 350 hours of engine run or idle time is
generally only a concern for fleet customers.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) if
the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road
environment or is operated predominately at idle
or only very low engine RPM’s. This type of
vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
NOTE:
The Oil Change Indicator will not illuminate
under these conditions.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level.
• Check windshield washer fluid level.
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for
unusual wear or damage.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir,
and brake master cylinder reservoir, and fill as
needed.
• Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
