Normal Scheduled Maintenance

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor

Your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Oil-Life system. This monitor determines when you should change the engine oil based on how you use your vehicle. By factoring in several important variables 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 need to remember to change the oil according to a mileage schedule. Your vehicle will notify you when an oil change is due by displaying a message in 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 severity of use increases.

Normal Maintenance Intervals

¹ No more than one year or 10,000 miles (16,000 km) between service intervals.

² Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after replacing the engine oil and filter.

¹ Perform these maintenance items within 3000 miles (4800 km) of the last engine oil and filter change. Do not exceed the specified interval distance.

² After the initial inspection, check every second oil change until replacement.

³ If not replaced within the last 100,000 miles (160,000 km).

⁴ Initial replacement at 10 years or 200,000 miles (322,000 km), then every five years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km).
