To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully apply and hold the brake pedal while
you fully press and release the accelerator
pedal, pausing slightly at each press and each
release, three times within five seconds.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when
you start your vehicle, the Engine Oil Life
System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air
cleaner/filter is located
in the center of the
engine compartment.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
If your vehicle has an
air cleaner/filter change
indicator, inspect the
indicator at every
oil change and replace
the filter when the
indicator tells you to.
For vehicles without a change indicator, inspect
the air cleaner/filter at every oil change and
replace the filter at the first oil change after
25,000 miles (40 000 km).
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Locate the filter change indicator. When the
change indicator turns black or is in the red/orange
change area, replace the filter and reset the
indicator.

plastic retainer, slip the clamp over and
reinstall the hose.
The seal will need to be replaced on to the air
cleaner for normal driving, especially in the
warmer months.
Automatic Transmission Fluid

A good time to check your automatic transmission
fluid level is when the engine oil is checked.

Operator’s Manual to find out when to change
your transmission fluid and filters.
How to Check and What to Use
The Allison Automatic Transmission Operator’s
Manual that came with the vehicle shows how to
check the automatic transmission fluid and
what fluid to use.
Automatic Transmission External Filter
Your automatic transmission filter requires
periodic replacement.
Consult the Allison Automatic Transmission
Operator’s Manual that came with the vehicle for
proper change intervals.
