Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays a CHANGE ENGINE

necessary to change the engine oil
and filter. The oil life system should
be reset to 100% only following an
oil change.
Dry Sump Engine Break-In Oil
Change
If equipped with a dry sump engine,
the initial oil and filter change must
be performed at 800 km/500 mi.
Follow the engine oil life system for
every oil change thereafter.
Resetting the Oil Life System
1. Scroll through the DIC Info Pages menu until the
REMAINING OIL LIFE percentage is displayed. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)
0115.
2. Press and hold the SEL button on the DIC while the Oil Life
display is active. The oil life will
change to 100%.
