1 You can perform these maintenance items within 3000 miles (4800 kilometers) of the
last oil change. Do not exceed the designated distance for the interval.
Note: When adding coolant additive, do not exceed the specified maximum of 48 fluid
ounces (1.4 liters) for the engine and 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) for the secondary cooling
system. Operating the engine with excessive coolant additive may cause overheating which
could lead to severe, permanent engine damage.
2 Perform follow-up inspections every 15000 miles (24000 kilometers) after the initial
inspection. Replace the belt(s) at 150000 miles (240000 kilometers).
