FREQUENCY OF ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
CHANGES
ENGINE OIL
Road conditions as well as your kind of driving
affect the interval at which your oil should be
changed. Check the following to determine if any
apply to you:
• Frequent short trip driving less than 8 kilometers
(5 miles)
• Frequent driving in dusty conditions
• Frequent trailer towing
• Extensive idling (such as vehicle operation in stop
and go traffic)
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high
speeds during hot weather, above 32°C (90°F)
If any of these apply to you then change your
engine oil every 4 800 kilometers (3,000 miles) or 3
months, whichever comes first.
If none of these apply to you then change your oil
every 12 000 kilometers (7,500 miles) or 6 months,
whichever comes first.
If none of these apply and the vehicle is in commer-
cial type service such as, Police, Taxi or Limousine
used for highway driving of 40 kilometers (25 miles)
or more between stations, the engine oil should be
changed every 8 000 kilometers (5,000 miles) or 6
months.

FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES

oil contamination. When flexible fuel is being used,
the engine oil should be changed every 8 000 kilome-
ters (5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first.
OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new
filter at every second oil change.
