whichever occurs first). Reset the system. The system
will show you when to change the oil
-- usually between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 10,000 miles (16 000 km)
since your last oil change. Under severe conditions, the
indicator may come on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km).
Never drive your vehicle more than 10,000 miles
(16 000 km) or 12 months without an oil and
filter change.Remember to reset the Oil Life System when the oil and
filter have been changed. See ªOil Life Systemº in the
Index for information on resetting.

steering linkage, transmission shift linkage and parking

or they could be damaged.
