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 servicing. 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.

To reset the oil change indicator system. Refer to CENTER, ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION, STANDARD PROCEDURE .

Engine Oil Filter Replacement

Residual oil in the housing may spill from the housing when the new filter is installed if the residual oil is not either removed from the housing or enough time has not elapsed to allow the oil to drain back into the engine. When servicing the oil filter on this engine, carefully remove the filter and use a suction gun to remove any residual oil left in the housing or wait about 30 minutes for the oil to drain back into the engine.

NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 20 000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.

NOTE:

Flush and replace the engine coolant at 120 months or 240, 000 km whichever comes first.

At Each Stop for Fuel

Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

Once a Month

Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, and brake master cylinder; add as needed.
Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
Inspect for the presence of water in the fuel filter/water separator unit.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
