Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolant
concentration (freeze-point protection) and additive

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.
Note: After the initial coolant flush and fill at
60,000 mi (96,000 km) or 2400 engine
hours, flush and fill every 45,000 mi (72,000 km) or 1800 engine hours thereafter. Operating in Sustained Ambient Temperatures Below -9°F (-23°C) or Above 100°F (38°C)

non-sealed bearings. (Two-wheel drive vehicles)
Every
30,000 mi
(48,000 km) Operating in Dusty or Sandy Conditions (Such as Unpaved or Dusty Roads)
Rotate the tires, inspect the tires for wear and measure
tread depth.1
Every
7,500 mi (12,000 km)
Inspect the brake system pads and rotors.
Inspect the air filter restriction gauge. Replace the filter if
necessary.
Inspect the steering and suspension ball joints and tie rods.
