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, and extended idling will influence when the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled oil change or for engine oil life reset procedure Engine Oil Life Reset.
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), or 12 months, whichever comes first. The engine controller also monitors the number of hours of engine run time, and will illuminate the oil change indicator after 350 hours (which is not likely to be exceeded except for certain fleet customers with extended engine idling periods).
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, brake master cylinder and fill as needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Refer to the Maintenance Plans for the required maintenance intervals.
