SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indi-
cator system. The oil change indicator system will remind
you t
hat it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled main-
tenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indi-
cator message will illuminate. This means that service is
r
equ
ired 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 reset.
Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 500
miles (805 km).
On vehicles equipped with an instrument cluster 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 cluster
disp
lay, “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 indicator
mess
age 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 infor
-
mation.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed
1
0,0
00 miles (16,000 km), 12 months or 350 hours of engine
run
time, whichever 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
engin
e 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’s. This type of vehicle use is
considered Severe Duty.
