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, or extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the "Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3, 500 miles (5, 600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km). On vehicles equipped with an instrument cluster display, "Oil Change Required" will be displayed and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary. On vehicles not equipped with an instrument cluster display, "Change Oil" will flash in the instrument cluster odometer and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10, 000 miles (16, 000 km), 12 months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine run or idle time is generally only a concern for fleet customers.
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.
Severe Duty All Models
- Vehicles that are operated in a dusty and off-road environment, or predominately at idle or very low engine RPM are known as Severe Duty vehicles. It is recommended that you change Engine Oil at 4, 000 miles (6, 500 km) or 350 hours of engine run time.
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
At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:
- Change oil and filter.
- 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.
- Inspect all door latches for presence of grease, reapply if necessary.
Using white lithium grease, lubricate the door hinge joints twice a year to prevent premature wear.
