NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™ -
Diesel Engine Only
Your diesel engine has 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.
