2022 To 2023
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. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10, 000 miles (16, 000 km), 12 months, whichever comes first.
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, open the filter cap approximately six turns until the cap o-ring is visible and stop. Wait five minutes with the cap in this position to allow dirty engine oil to drain back into the engine. After five minutes, the cap and filter assembly can be removed and discarded.
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:
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
- Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
- 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.
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
- Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, 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 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 parking 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.
