whichever comes first and follow schedule “B” of the
 Maintenance Schedules  section of this manual.
NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then flush and
replace your engine coolant every 102,000 miles (170 000
km) or 60 months, whichever comes first and follow
schedule “B” of the  Maintenance Schedules  section of
this manual.
NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the conditions
listed for Schedule  B  .
Second is Schedule “A” . It is for vehicles that are not
operated under any of the conditions listed under Sched-
ule  B  .
Use the schedule that best describes your driving condi-
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
whichever comes first.
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
