tions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow the
interval that occurs first. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change in-
tervals exceed 6000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months

CAUTION!Failure to perform the required maintenance items
may result in damage to the vehicle.
At Each Stop for Fuel
• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully
warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while
the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accu-
racy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the
level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES 485
