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 engine oil replacement.

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.

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 "Oil Change Required" message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate earlier than specified. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

NOTE:

  • The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions, and is signaled by the warning light or message in the instrument cluster. In any case, it must never exceed two years. If the vehicle is used mainly for city driving, change the engine oil and filter every year.
  • Flush and replace the engine coolant at 120 months or 150, 000 miles (240, 000 km) whichever comes first.
  • The maximum mileage is 75, 000 mi (120, 000 km). The belt must be replaced every five years regardless of distance traveled. The timing and accessory belts must be changed every 37, 500 miles (60, 000 km) or three years for particularly demanding use (dusty areas, severe weather conditions, very low or very high temperatures for extended periods, city driving, long periods of idling). Under no circumstances should these intervals be exceeded.
