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 towing, and extremely hot or cold
ambient temperatures will influence when the
"Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message
is displayed. 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 non-instrument cluster display equipped
vehicles, "Change Oil" will flash in the instrument
cluster odometer and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
AND
NOTE:
Hybrid (If Equipped): Even though the vehicle
may not have been driven, both the fuel in the
tank and oil in the engine will still degrade over
time. Additionally, there will be a notification to
the driver if the engine is being run to maintain
the oil and fuel systems.
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
NOTE:
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.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
●
Check the engine oil level.
●
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
●
Check the tire inflation 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 the function of all interior and exterior
lights.
