Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved reliability,
durability and resale value. To maintain the
proper performance of your vehicle and its
emission control systems, make sure you
have scheduled maintenance performed at
the designated intervals.
Your vehicle comes with the Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor system, a message appears
in the instrument cluster display at the proper
oil change interval. This interval may be up
to one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km), hybrid
vehicles could exceed 10,000 mi (16,000 km).
When the oil change message appears in
the instrument cluster display, it is time for
an oil change. Make sure you perform the
oil change within two weeks or 500 mi
(800 km) of the message appearing. Make
sure to reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
after each oil change. See Resetting the
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor (page 387).
If your instrument cluster display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at six
months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) from your
last oil change. Never exceed one year or
10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil change
intervals.
You can drive your vehicle in such a way that
may lead to higher oil consumption including
extended time at high engine speeds, high
loads, engine braking, hard cornering
maneuvers, track and off-road usage. Under
these conditions, oil consumption of
approximately 1 quart per 500 miles (1 liter
per 800 km) is possible. Check the engine
oil level at every refueling and adjust to
maintain proper levels to avoid engine
damage.
You can also drive your vehicle in such a way
that dilutes and increases the level of oil by
frequent short trips that do not allow the
engine to get to operating temperature,
extended idling and low speed driving for
long periods of time.
It is important to rely upon your dealership
to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle.
We strongly recommend only using our
genuine or our authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of your
vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please consult
your warranty information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal
operating characteristic and, by itself, does
not necessarily indicate a concern or that the
fluid needs to be changed. Have discolored
fluids that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination checked
immediately.
