To determine the preferred
viscosity for your vehicle’s
engine (e.g.,
SAE 5W-30 or SAE
10W-30), see “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
Your vehicle has an Engine Oil
Life Monitor. This monitor will
show you when to change the oil
- usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles
( 12 500 km) since your last oil
change. Under severe conditions
the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never
drive your vehicle more than
7,500 miles (12
500 km) or 12
months without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust in
the oil..
So if you drive in a dusty
area be sure
to change your oil
every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or
sooner if the “Change Oil” light
comes on.
