Operating conditions such as frequent short-
trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the "Oil

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.

• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for
unusual wear or damage
