Scheduled Maintenance

NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® – 3.7L and 5.0L Engines
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® that
determines when the engine oil needs to be changed based on how your
vehicle is used. By using several important factors in its calculations,
the monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduce
environmental waste at the same time. This means you won't have to
remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule; the vehicle
lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the information display. The following table is intended to
provide examples of vehicle use and its impact on engine oil change
intervals; it is provided as a guideline only. Actual engine oil change
intervals depend on several factors and generally decrease with severity
of use.
Note: The Shelby® GT500® information display is NOT equipped with
this feature. Refer to your Shelby GT500 supplement for oil change
service intervals.
