NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG

Vehicles Equipped with a 3.5L, 3.7L or 5.0L Engine
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 reduces
environmental waste at the same time. This means you do not 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 information display. 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 depend on several factors and generally decrease with severity
of use.
