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
cha
nge indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, or 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
res
et. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500
miles (805 km).
On vehicles equipped with an instrument
c
lus
ter display, “Oil Change Required” will be
displayed and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On vehicles not equipped with an instrument
clus
ter display, “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
ind
icator 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
information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
i
nt
ervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
12 m
onths or 350 hours of engine run time,
whi
chever 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 run 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. This type of vehicle use is
considered Severe Duty.
