If ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE NEXTSERVICE or OIL CHANGE REQUIREDappears in the information display, it istime for an oil change; the oil change mustbe done within two weeks or 500 miles(800 kilometers) of the ENGINE OILCHANGE DUE NEXT SERVICE or OILCHANGE REQUIRED message appearing.The oil minder system must be reset aftereach oil change. See Oil ChangeIndicator Reset (page 209).
If your information display resetsprematurely or becomes inoperative, youshould perform the oil change interval atsix months or 5000 miles (8000kilometers) from your last oil change.Never exceed one year or 10000 miles(16000 kilometers) between oil changeintervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and builtwith multiple, complex, performancesystems. Every manufacturer developsthese systems using differentspecifications and performance features.That is why it is important to rely upon yourdealership to properly diagnose and repairyour vehicle.
