experience long periods of idling, during
which engine oil continues to break down
but distance is not accumulated on the
odometer. Engine Idle Hours have been
incorporated into the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor.
Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:
Axle and Transfer Case maintenance:
The Transfer case, front and rear axles in
your vehicle do not require an any normal
scheduled maintenance. Vehicles are
electrically monitored and notify the driver
required service by displaying a message
in the information display. The transfer
case, front and rear axles are more likely
to require a fluid change if the vehicle has
experienced extended periods of
extreme/severe duty cycle driving.
Changing or checking the transfer case,
front and/or rear axle lubricant is not
necessary unless the unit has been
submerged in water, shows signs of
leakage, a message indicating required
service displays, or the vehicle has been
used under special operating conditions
such as Driver Training/EVOC. Contact
your authorized dealer for service. California fuel filter replacement: If you
register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. We however, urge you to have
all recommended maintenance services
performed at the specified intervals and
to record all vehicle service.
Hot climate oil change intervals:
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using an
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification
mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal
oil change interval is 5,000 mi (8,000 km)
.
If the available API SM or SN oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
3,000 mi (4,800 km)
.
Engine air filter and cabin air filter
replacement
: The life of the engine air
filter and cabin air filter is dependent on
exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.
Vehicles operated in these conditions
require frequent inspection and
replacement of the engine air filter and
cabin air filter.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
RECORD
After the scheduled maintenance services
are performed, record the Repair Order #,
