Service and Maintenance 297
At your dealer, you can be certain
that you will receive the highest
level of service available. Your
dealer has specially trained service
technicians, uses genuine
replacement parts, as well as,
up-to-date tools and equipment to
ensure fast and accurate
diagnostics.
The proper replacement parts,
fluids, and lubricants to use are
listed inRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0301 andMaintenance
Replacement Parts 0302. We
recommend the use of genuine
parts from your dealer.
Rotation of New Tires
Tire rotation is not recommended if
the vehicle has different size tires
on the front and rear wheels. If tire
rotation is recommended for the
vehicle, to maintain ride, handling,
and performance of the vehicle, it is
important that the first rotation
service for new tires be performed.
Tires should be rotated every
service. See Tire Rotation 0266.Maintenance
Schedule
When the Change Engine Oil
Soon Message Displays
Change engine oil and filter. See
Engine Oil 0225. An Emission
Control Service.
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message displays, service is
required for the vehicle as soon as
possible, within the next 1 000 km/
600 miles. If driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system
may not indicate the need for
vehicle service for up to a year. The
engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and
the oil life system must be reset.
Your dealer has trained service
technicians who will perform this
work and reset the system. If the
engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle
within 5 000 km/3,000 miles since
the last service. Reset the oil life
system whenever the oil is changed.
