SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
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 illuminate. This means that service is required for
your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips,
trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influ
-
ence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is
d
isplay
ed. 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).
On vehicles equipped with instrument cluster display, “Oil
Change R
equired” will be displayed and a single chime will
sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped vehicles,
“Change
Oil” will flash in the instrument cluster odometer
and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change
is necessary.
An 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 an
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to
the steps described under “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further infor

mation.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed
1
0,000 m
iles (16,000 km), twelve months or 350 hours of
engine r
un 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) or 350 hours of
engine r
un time 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.
