Scheduled Servicing - Jeep COMPASS 2019 User Manual

SCHEDULED SERVICING

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 in
the instrument cluster. This means that ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips,
trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence
"Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" mes-
sage is displayed. Severe Operating Condi-
tions can cause the change oil message to
illuminate as early as 3,500
(5,600 km) since last reset. Have your ve-
hicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 500 miles (805 km).
Your 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
your authorized dealer, the message can be
reset by referring to the steps described un-
der "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel" in your Own-
er's Manual for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
one year 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.
