Engine Oil
If the engine oil pressure
light appears on the
instrument cluster, it
means you need to check
your engine oil level
right away.
For more information, see
Oil Pressure Light on
page 3-36.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.
5-13
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 5-12for
location of engine air cleaner/®lter.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect the air cleaner/®lter every 15,000 miles
(25 000 km) and replace every 30,000 miles
(50 000 km). If you are driving in dusty/dirty conditions,
inspect the ®lter at each engine oil change.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
To inspect the air cleaner/®lter remove the ®lter from the
vehicle and lightly shake the ®lter to release loose
dust and dirt. If the ®lter remains caked with dirt, a new
®lter is required.
To inspect or replace the ®lter, do the following:
1. Release the four clips
on the cover.
2. Lift the cover up.

Short Trip/City De®nition
Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance if any
one of these conditions is true for your vehicle:
·Most trips are less than 5 miles (8 km). This is
particularly important when outside temperatures
are below freezing.
·Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent
driving in stop-and-go traffic).
·You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top
of your vehicle.
·If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police,
taxi or other commercial application.
One of the reasons you should follow this schedule if
you operate your vehicle under any of these conditions
is that these conditions cause engine oil to break
down sooner.
Short Trip/City Intervals
Every 3,000 Miles (5 000 km):Engine Oil and Filter
Change (or 3 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Every 6,000 Miles (10 000 km):Passenger
Compartment Air Filter Inspection (If Equipped).
Tire Rotation.
Every 15,000 Miles (25 000 km):Engine Air Cleaner
Filter Inspection. Automatic Transmission Service
(severe conditions only). Manual Transmission Fluid
Change. Transfer Case Fluid Change. Differential Fluid
Change. Propeller Shafts and U-Joints Inspection
(or every 15 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Every 30,000 Miles (50 000 km):Engine Air Cleaner
Filter Replacement. Air Filter Replacement (If Equipped).
Ignition Coil Plug Cap Inspection (or every 30 months,
whichever occurs ®rst). Engine Accessory Drive Belt
Inspection (or every 30 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Cooling System Service (or every 30 months,
whichever occurs ®rst). Fuel Tank, Cap, and Lines
Inspection. Fuel Filter Replacement (or every 30 months,
whichever occurs ®rst).
6-5
Every 45,000 Miles (75 000 km):Automatic
Transmission Fluid Hose Inspection (or every
45 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Every 60,000 Miles (100 000 km):Fuel Tank Cap
Gasket Replacement. Emission System Hoses
Inspection. Brake Fluid Service. Spark Plug
Replacement.
Every 100,000 Miles (166 000 km):Automatic
Transmission Service (normal conditions).
Every 120 000 Miles (200 000 km):Evaporative
Emissions Canister and Air Suction Filter Replacement
(or every 120 months, whichever occurs ®rst). Engine
Accessory Drive Belt Replacement (or every
120 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
These intervals only summarize maintenance services.
Be sure to follow the complete scheduled maintenance
on the following pages.
Long Trip/Highway De®nition
Follow this scheduled maintenanceonlyif none of the
conditions from the Short Trip/City Scheduled
Maintenance are true. Do not use this schedule if the
vehicle is used for trailer towing, driven in a dusty area
or used off paved roads. Use the Short Trip/City
schedule for these conditions.
Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed engine under
highway conditions will cause engine oil to break down
slower.
Long Trip/Highway Intervals
Every 7,500 Miles (12 500 km):Engine Oil and Filter
Change (or every 7.5 months, whichever occurs
®rst). Tire Rotation.
Every 15,000 Miles (25 000 km):Engine Air Cleaner
Filter Inspection. Automatic Transmission Service
(severe conditions only). Passenger Compartment Air
Filter Inspection (If Equipped). Propeller Shafts and
U-Joints Inspection (or every 15 months, whichever
occurs ®rst).
