NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
(Diesel Engine Only)
Your diesel engine 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.
When to expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED Message
