MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance Schedule – Gasoline
Engine
NOTE:
Proper operation of four-wheel drive ve-
hicles depends on tires of equal size, type
and circumference on each wheel. Any dif-
ference in tire size can cause damage to the
transfer case. The tire rotation schedule
should be followed to balance tire wear.
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for sched-
uled maintenance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) equipped vehicles “Oil Change Re-
quired” will be displayed in the EVIC and a
single chime will sound, indicating that an oil
change is necessary.
On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles “Change Oil”
will flash in the instrument cluster odometer and
a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil
change is necessary.
The oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate approximately 7,000 miles (11 200 km)
after the most recent oil change was per-
formed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within 500 miles (800 km). However,
an earlier oil change at 3,000 miles (5,000 km)
may be required if the vehicle is operated
under “Severe Duty Conditions” later in this
section.
NOTE:
• The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicles oil if it has been
6 months since your last oil change even
if the oil change indicator message is
NOT illuminated.
• Change your engine oil more often if you
drive your vehicle off-road for an ex-
tended period of time.
• Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12 000 km) or six months, whichever
comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the sched-
uled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is
performed by someone other than your autho-
rized dealer, the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Oil
Change Required” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” or under “Instrument Cluster
Description/Odometer/Trip Odometer” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
