NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-LifeMonitor that determines when you shouldchange the engine oil based on how youuse your vehicle. By using severalimportant factors in its calculations, themonitor helps reduce the cost of owningyour vehicle and reduces environmentalwaste at the same time.
This means you do not have to rememberto change the oil on a mileage-basedschedule. Your vehicle lets you know whenan oil change is due by displaying amessage in the instrument cluster display.
The following table provides examples ofvehicle use and its impact on oil changeintervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oilchange intervals depend on several factorsand generally decrease with severity ofuse.

Note:Do not exceed the mileage or timeintervals.
Gasoline Engines
7,500 mi (12,000 km) or Six Months Whichever Comes First
Rotate the tires, inspect tire wear and measure the tread depth.1
Inspect the wheels and related components for abnormal noise, wear, looseness ordrag.
Perform a multi-point inspection, recommended.
Inspect front oil hubs for leaks and check fluid level through hub cap sight glass.
1 Rotate the front wheels on vehicles with dual rear wheels when specified. Only rotatethe rear wheels if you notice unusual wear.

At Every Oil Change Interval as Indicated by the Information Display1
Inspect the steering linkage, ball joints, suspension, tie-rod ends, driveshaft and the U-joints. Lubricate any components that have grease fittings.
Inspect front oil hubs for leaks and check fluid level through hub cap sight glass.
1 Do not exceed one year/10,000 mi (16,000 km) or 350 engine hours between serviceintervals.2 Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after engine oil and filter changes. See Oil ChangeIndicator Reset (page 229).3 Rotate the front wheels on vehicles with dual rear wheels when specified. Only rotatethe rear wheels if you notice unusual wear.
Brake Fluid Maintenance1
Change the brake fluid.2Every 3 Years
1 Perform this maintenance item every 3 years. Do not exceed the designated time forthe interval.2 Brake fluid servicing requires special equipment available at your authorized dealer.
Other Maintenance Items1
Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuel
filters.2Every 22,000 mi(36,000 km)
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolantconcentration, freeze-point protection, additive, corrosioninhibitor, strength, coolant level, and hoses. Add coolant
additive if necessary.3
Every 30,000 mi(48,000 km)Note: When adding coolant additive, do not exceed thespecified maximum of 47 fl oz (1.4 L) for the engine and20 fl oz (473 ml) for the secondary cooling system. Oper-ating the engine with excessive coolant additive may causeoverheating which could lead to severe, permanent enginedamage.
Replace the air inlet foam filter.Every 45,000 mi(72,000 km)
Inspect the accessory drive belt or belts.4At 90,000 mi(144,000 km)

Rear Axle Maintenance
A rear axle fluid change or level check isnot required unless you suspect a leak orthe assembly has been submerged inwater. During long periods of trailer towingwith outside temperatures above 70°F(21°C), and at wide-open throttle for longperiods above 45 mph (72 km/h), changethe rear axle fluid every 24,000 mi(38,000 km) or three months, whichevercomes first.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, theCalifornia Air Resources Board hasdetermined that the failure to perform thismaintenance item does not nullify theemission warranty or limit recall liabilitybefore the completion of your vehicle'suseful life. We, however, urge you to haveall recommended maintenance servicesperformed at the specified intervals andto record all vehicle service.
Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals
The normal oil change interval is 3,000 mi(5,000 km) for gasoline vehicles operatingin the Middle East, North Africa,Sub-Saharan Africa or locations withsimilar climates using American PetroleumInstitute (API) oils Certified for GasolineEngines and displaying the API CertificationMark. If API Certified Oils are not available,then it is acceptable to use API SM or SNoils. If API oils are not available, then theoil change interval is 1,750 mi (3,000 km).
Engine Air Filter Replacement
The life of the engine air filter is dependenton exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.Vehicles operated in these conditionsrequire frequent inspection andreplacement of the engine air filter andcabin air filter.
Diesel Particulate Filter
Over time, a slight amount of ash buildsup in the diesel particulate filter, which isnot removed during the regenerationprocess. The filter may need to be replacedwith a new or remanufactured part atapproximately 250,000 mi (400,000 km).Actual mileage varies depending on engineand vehicle operating conditions.
In this case, the engine control system setsa service light (wrench icon) to inform youto bring your vehicle to the dealer forservice. If there are any issues with theoxidation catalyst or particulate filtersystem, a service light (wrench or engineicon) sets by the engine control system toinform you to bring your vehicle into adealer for service.
