Normal scheduled maintenance
INTELLIGENT OIL-LIFE MONITOR™
Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you should change the engine oil based on how you use your vehicle. 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.

|---|---|
| Interval | Vehicle Use and Example |
| 7,500–10,000 mi (12,000–16,000 km) | Normal |
| Normal commuting with highway driving No, or moderate, load or towing Flat to moderately hilly roads No extended idling | |
| 5,000–7,500 mi (8,000–12,000 km) | Severe |
| Moderate to heavy load or towing Mountainous or off-road conditions Extended idling Extended hot or cold operation | |
| 3,000–5,000 mi (5,000–8,000 km) | Extreme |
