Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor®
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil 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.

to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying ENGINE

REQUIRED in the information display.
