Oil Change Indicator System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Dodge Charger and 2010 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The oil change indicator system reminds you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
On the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles "Oil Change Required" is displayed in the EVIC and a single chime sounds indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-EVIC equipped vehicles "Change Oil" flashes in the instrument cluster odometer and a single chime sounds indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operating conditions the oil change indicator message illuminates. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 805 km (500 miles).
NOTE:
- The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change the vehicle 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 10,000 km (6,000 miles) or six months, whichever comes first.
