North AMERICA - Diesel: 2021

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the "Oil Change Required" message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions will cause the change oil message to illuminate more frequently. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km). An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message 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 information.

Engine Oil Filter Replacement 

Residual oil in the housing may spill from the housing when the new filter is installed if the residual oil is not either removed from the housing or enough time has not elapsed to allow the oil to drain back into the engine. When servicing the oil filter on this engine, carefully remove the filter and use a suction gun to remove any residual oil left in the housing or wait about 30 minutes for the oil to drain back into the engine.

Oil Change Indicator- Reset

• Unless reset, this message continues to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
  2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
• If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

Heavy Duty Use Of The Vehicle

• Change Engine Oil at 4, 000 miles (6, 500 km) 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.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire pressures and look for unusual wear or damage, rotate at the first sign of irregular wear
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering, and fill as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights

Maintenance Plan - Diesel Fuel Up To B5 Biodiesel 

Refer to the Maintenance Plans on the following pages for required maintenance.

At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:

• Change oil and filter.
• Completely fill the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank.
• Drain water from fuel filter assembly.
• Rotate the tires.
  NOTE:

  Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on.

• Inspect battery, clean and tighten terminals as required.
• Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
• Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
• Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
• Inspect exhaust system.
• Inspect engine air cleaner filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions, replace engine air cleaner filter if necessary.

At Every Second Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:

• Change fuel filter.

Additional Maintenance - B6 To B20 Biodiesel

• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 8, 000 miles (12, 875 km) or six months, whichever comes first when using Biodiesel blends greater than 5% (B5).
• The owner is required to monitor mileage for B6-B20 biodiesel, the automatic oil change indicator system does not reflect the use of biofuels.
• Fuel filter change interval is maintained at every second oil change. This is especially important with biodiesel usage.
