NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
determines when the engine oil should be changed based on how your
vehicles is used. By using several important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduce
environmental waste at the same time. This means you won’t have to
remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule; the vehicle lets
you know when an oil change is due by displaying ENGINE OIL CHANGE
DUE or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED in the message center. The following
table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use and its impact on
engine oil change intervals; it is provided as a guideline only. Actual
engine oil change intervals will depend on several factors and will
generally decrease with severity of use.
