The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs required due to improper

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on
engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service
is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message
is displayed. Severe operating conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
5,600 kilometres since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 800
kilometres.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD OIL CHANGE INTERVALS EXCEED 16,000 KILOMETRES, TWELVE MONTHS OR 350 HOURS OF ENGINE RUN
TIME, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THE 350 HOURS OF ENGINE RUN OR
IDLE TIME IS GENERALLY ONLY A CONCERN FOR FLEET CUSTOMERS.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL AT 6,500 KILOMETRES IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN A
DUSTY AND OFF-ROAD ENVIRONMENT OR IS OPERATED PREDOMINATELY AT
IDLE OR ONLY VERY LOW ENGINE RPM’s. THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE USE IS
