In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your

following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.Multi-Point Inspection

MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
Diesel Engines
Your vehicle comes with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
you use your vehicle. 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.
