Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Engine Oil Message
Displays
Change engine oil and filter. See Engine Oilon
page 6‑19. An Emission Control Service.
When the Change Engine Oil message displays,
service is required for the vehicle as soon as possible,
within the next 1 000 km/600 miles. If driving under the
best conditions, the engine oil life system might not
indicate the need for vehicle service for more than a
year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least
once a year and the oil life system must be reset. Your
dealer/retailer has trained service technicians who will
perform this work and reset the system. If the engine
oil life system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle
within 5 000 km/3,000 miles since the last service.
Reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
See Engine Oil Life System on page 6‑25. When the Change Engine Oil message displays,
certain services, checks, and inspections are
required. The services described for Maintenance
I
