NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
your vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time. This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.

Police Interceptor (CPH), enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

Police vehicles equipped with an engine idle hour meter
Replace cabin air filter.
Inspect frequently, service
as required
Inspect the brake system
Every 5000 miles (8000
km)
Lubricate control arm and steering ball joints (if equipped
with grease fittings).
Rotate tires, inspect tires for wear and measure tread
depth.
Change engine oil and filter.*
Every 5000 miles (8000
km) or six months or as
indicated by time/milage
calculation (see description
below) Perform multi-point inspection.
Change automatic transmission fluid.
Every 30000 miles (48000
km)
Replace spark plugs.
Every 60000 miles (96000
km)
* Reset your Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after engine oil and filter changes. See Engine
Oil Check (page 175).
Engine Idle Hour Meter
Your vehicle may been fitted with an idle
meter to indicate how much time the
vehicle has been sitting in park (P) or
neutral (N). The meter is incorporated with
the vehicle odometer. Depressing the
odometer-reset button once displays the
trip odometer (miles [kilometers]
following by a "T" for trip odometer);
depressing the odometer-reset button a
second time displays the idle meter (hours
following by an "H" for hours). The idle
meter only accumulates time when the
vehicle is in park (P) or neutral (N). Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle
and cannot be reset to zero. Police vehicles
often experience long periods of idling,
during which engine oil continues to break
down but distance is not accumulated on
the odometer.
Engine idle hour meter calculation:
Idle hours x 33 = miles (kilometers)
equivalency
Miles (kilometers) driven + miles
(kilometers) equivalency = oil change
interval
