SRT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or mileages
specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions, such as
dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be done anytime a
malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles, “Oil Change Required” will be
displayed in the EVIC and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means
that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
• The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Changeyour vehicle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil change, even if the oil change
indicator message is NOT illuminated.
• Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.
• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or six months, whichever comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your authorized dealer,
the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Instrument Cluster Warning
Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for
further information.
At Each Stop For Fuel
• Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures/Engine Oil” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once A Month
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering, and add as needed.
• Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
