SRT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times
or mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle
performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles
in severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in
for scheduled maintenance.
The Driver Information Display (DID) will display an “Oil Change Required” message
and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
• The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oilchange. Change your vehicle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil
change, even if the oil change indicator message is NOT illuminated.
• Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.
• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or six months, whichever comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps
described under “Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” in this guide or “Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
At Each Stop For Fuel
• Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures/Engine Oil” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — DIESEL ENGINE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures
will influence when the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe
Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps
described under “Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” in this guide or “Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles
(16,000 km) or twelve months, whichever comes first.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
Residual oil in the housing may spill from the housing when the new filter is installed
if the residual oil is not either removed from the housing or enough time has not
elapsed to allow the oil to drain back into the engine. When servicing the oil filter on
this engine, carefully remove the filter and use a suction gun to remove any residual
oil left in the housing or wait about 30 minutes for the oil to drain back into the
engine.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and fill asneeded
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
