SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this
manual must be done at the times or mileages
specified to protect the vehicle warranty and
ensure the best vehicle performance and
reliability. More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions,
such as dusty areas and very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be done
anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
The instrument cluster display will display an
“Oil Change Required” message and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil change
is necessary. Based on engine operation
conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate.
This means that service is required for your
vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle's oil if it has been six
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 extended period
of time.
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or
six months, whichever comes first.
