† This maintenance is recommended by the
manufacturer to the owner, but is not required
to maintain emissions warranty.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or around
a motor vehicle. Do only service work for
which you have the knowledge and the right
equipment. If you have any doubt about your
ability to perform a service job, take your
vehicle to a competent mechanic.
Maintenance Schedule – Diesel
Engine
Diesel Models with Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF)
NOTE:
Proper operation of four-wheel drive ve-
hicles depends on tires of equal size, type
and circumference on each wheel. Any dif-
ference in tire size can cause damage to the
transfer case. The tire rotation schedule
should be followed to balance tire wear.
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for sched-
uled maintenance.
A "CHANgE OIL" message will flash in the
instrument cluster odometer and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil change
is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate, this
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 mi (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the sched-
uled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is
performed by someone other than your autho-
rized dealer, the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under "Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Oil
Change Required" in "Understanding Your In-
strument Panel" or under "Instrument Cluster
Description/Odometer/Trip Odometer" in "Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel" for further
information.
