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 should 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 message center. 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 will depend on several factors and will generally decrease with
severity of use.
Note: The Shelby GT500 message center is NOT equipped with this
feature; refer to your Shelby GT500 supplement for oil change service
intervals.
