MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

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 maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change

indicator message will illuminate. This means that ser-

vice is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions

such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or

cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will

influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Re-

quired” message is displayed. Severe Operating Condi-

tions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as

early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your

vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500

miles (805 km).

On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)

equipped vehicles, “Oil Change Required” will be dis-

played in the EVIC and a single chime will sound,

indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash

in the instrument cluster odometer and a single chime

will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator

message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a

scheduled oil change is performed by someone other

than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by

referring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your

Instrument Panel” for further information.
NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change inter-

vals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve months,

whichever comes first.
