MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to
"Maintenance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in your Owner's Manual or
applicable supplement on the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — GASOLINE ENGINE
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 tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures,
and E85 fuel usage will influence when the "Oil Change Required" message is
displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to
illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle
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
under "Instrument Cluster Warning Lights" in "What To Do In Emergencies" in this
guide or "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" or "Driver Information Display
(DID)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in your Owner's Manual on the DVD
for further information.
1500 Models Only
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
twelve 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.
