Scheduled Servicing - Jeep Wrangler JK 2018 Owner's Manual

SCHEDULED SERVICING

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 will influence when the "Change
Oil" or "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).
On vehicles equipped with instrument cluster display, "Oil
Change Required" will be displayed and a single chime
will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped vehicles,
"Change Oil" will flash in the instrument cluster odometer
and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change
is necessary.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 365
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 "Warning And
Indicator Lights" or "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Get-
ting To Know Your Instrument Panel" for further informa-
tion.
NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals 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.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) or 350 hours of
engine run time if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment or is operated predominately at idle or
only very low engine RPM's. This type of vehicle use is
considered Severe Duty.
