Normal Scheduled Maintenance

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™

Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent oil life monitor, which determines when to change the engine oil based on how your vehicle is operated. By using several important factors in its calculations, the monitor helps reduce the cost of vehicle ownership while also reducing environmental waste.

This means you do not need to remember to change the oil according to a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle informs you when an oil change is needed by displaying a message on the information display.

The following table shows examples of vehicle use and its effect on oil change intervals. This is a recommendation only. Actual oil change intervals depend on several factors and generally decrease as the severity of use increases.

1 Hybrid vehicles may achieve longer intervals between oil changes, but do not exceed the maximum oil change interval of 1 year. Access the remaining oil life through the information display. See Information Displays.
