Oil Change Indicator System

N
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
T
E
indicator system. This system will alert you when it is
N
time to change your engine oil by displaying the words
A
"Oil Change Required" on your Electronic Vehicle Infor-
N
C
mation Center (EVIC). The engine oil change indicator
E
system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil
change interval may fluctuate depending on your per-
S
C
sonal driving style. Driving styles such as frequent stop
H
and go type driving can increase the frequency of the
E
engine oil change. This is the result of more frequent
D
U
regeneration of the exhaust aftertreatment system, which
L
can decrease the life of the engine oil. Failure to change
E
the engine oil per the maintenance schedule can result in
S
internal engine damage.

Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" Section of this
manual.

Perform Service Indicator

Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set
interval. To help remind you when this maintenance is
due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
will display "Perform Service". When the "Perform Ser-
vice" message is displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to
have the emissions maintenance performed. Emissions
maintenance includes replacing the Closed Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) filter element, cleaning of the EGR
Cooler, and cleaning of the EGR Valve. The procedure for
clearing and resetting the Perform Service indicator
message is located in the appropriate Service Informa-
tion.
