If the message, ‘‘SERVICE’’ does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every year.
See information on maintenance and emissions warranty on page .
Independent of the maintenance messages in the information display, replace the brake fluid every 3 years.Inspect idle speed every 160,000 miles (256,000 km).Adjust the valves during services A, B, 1, 2, or 3 if they are noisy.

If you drive in dusty conditions, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and fromdiesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles(24,000 km).
If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures(under 20°F, 29°C), or towing a trailer, replace every60,000 miles (U.S.)/100,000 km (Canada).
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher level ofmechanical (shear) stress to fluid. This requiresdifferential fluid changes more frequently thanrecommended by the maintenance minder. If youregularly drive your vehicle under these conditions,have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles(12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
