When to change your oil depends on driving habits and
conditions because these directly affect engine speed,
coolant temperature and vehicle speed. Because of this,
the CHANGE
OIL
SOON light may turn on as early
as
2,000
miles
(3
218
km) or less for harsh circumstances.
The
CHANGE
OIL
SOON
light is
lit
for five seconds
as a bulb check each time the ignition key is turned to
the RUN position. It will stay on for
60
seconds once
90
percent of the oil life has been used and each time the
engine is started after that. If the CHANGE
OIL
SOON
light is on continuously, there
is
a problem with the
Oil
Life Monitor System and service is required.
After
changing
the
engine
oil,
the
system
should
he
reset.
This will cause the CHANGE
OIL
SOON
light to
be lit for a bulb check period of three seconds.
The reset button
is
in the glove
box.
With
the
ignition
key in the
RUN
position, push the reset button, hold it in
for at least five seconds but not more than
60
seconds.
After five seconds, the
CHANGE OIL
SOON
light will
flash four times and then go off. This indicates that the
Oil Life Monitor System has been reset.
