If the vehicle is driven primarily in dusty conditions, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
Replace dust and pollen filter (see DUST AND POLLEN FILTER REPLACEMENT )
  • If the vehicle is driven in areas that have high concentrations of dust, pollen, or soot in the air, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
  • Replace the filter whenever airflow from the heating and air conditioning system is less than normal.

Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher transmission and transfer temperatures. This requires transmission and transfer fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance Minder.
