Normal Scheduled Maintenance
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.
This means you do not have to remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying a message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of vehicle use and its impact on oil change intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil change intervals depend on several factors and generally decrease with severity of use.
| When to expect the message prompting you to change your oil | |
|---|---|
| Interval | Vehicle use and example |
| 7500-10000 miles (12000-16000 km) | Normal |
| Normal commuting with highway driving No, or moderate, load or towing Flat to moderately hilly roads No extended idling | |
| 5000-7499 miles (8000-11999 km) | Severe |
| Moderate to heavy load or towing Mountainous or off-road conditions Extended idling Extended hot or cold operation | |
| 3000-4999 miles (5000-7999 km) | Extreme |
| Maximum load or towing Extreme hot or cold operation | |
