168 Vehicle Care
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that
indicates when to change the engine oil and
filter. This is based on a combination of
factors which include engine revolutions,
engine temperature, and miles driven. Based
on driving conditions, the mileage at which
an oil change is indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil life system to work
properly, the system must be reset every
time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life
has been diminished, it indicates that an oil
change is necessary. A
:% CHANGE DIC
message comes on. Change the oil as soon
as possible within the next 1 000 km
(600 mi). It is possible that, if driving under
the best conditions, the oil life system may
indicate that an oil change is not necessary
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a year and,
at this time, the system must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service people who will
perform this work and reset the system.
It is also important to check the oil regularly
over the course of an oil drain interval and
keep it at the proper level. If the system is ever reset accidentally, the
oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi)
since the last oil change. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is
changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the engine oil is
changed so that the system can calculate
the next engine oil change. Always reset the
engine oil life to 100% after every oil
change. It will not reset itself. To reset the
system:
Base Level Cluster
1. Press MENU on the turn signal lever to show Remaining Oil Life on the display.
This display shows an estimate of the
oil’s remaining useful life. If 99% is
displayed, that means that 99% of the
current oil life remains.
2. To reset the engine oil life system, press SET/CLR while the oil life display is
active. After a few seconds, the oil life
will be reset to 100%. Be careful not to
reset the oil life display accidentally at
any time other than after the oil is
changed. It cannot be reset accurately. If the
:% CHANGE message in the DIC
comes back on when the vehicle is started,
the engine oil life system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.
Uplevel Cluster
1. Turn the ignition on with the engine off.
2. Press MENU on the turn signal lever to enter the Vehicle Information Menu. Use
the thumbwheel to scroll through the
menu items until you reach REMAINING
OIL LIFE.
3. Press SET/CLR to reset the oil life at 100%.
4. Turn the ignition off.
The oil life system can also be reset as
follows: 1. Turn the ignition on with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
The system is reset when the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message is off and the
REMAINING OIL LIFE 100% message is
displayed. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message comes back on when the vehicle is
started, the engine oil life system has not
been reset. Repeat the procedure.
