Normal Scheduled Maintenance
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
Your vehicle 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.
This means you do not have to remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying a message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of vehicle use and its impact on oil change intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil change intervals depend on several factors and generally decrease with severity of use.
| When to Expect the Message Prompting You to Change Your Oil | |
|---|---|
| mi (km) | Vehicle Use and Example |
| 7,500–10,000 mi (12,000–16,000 km) | Normal |
| Normal commuting with highway driving. No, or moderate, load or towing. Flat to moderately hilly roads. No extended idling. | |
| 5,000–7,500 mi (8,000–12,000 km) | Severe |
| Moderate to heavy load or towing. Mountainous or off-road conditions. Extended idling, 200-300 hours. Extended hot or cold operation. | |
| 2,500–5,000 mi (4,000–8,000 km) | Extreme |
| Maximum load or towing. Extreme hot or cold operation. Use of high sulfur diesel fuel. | |
Note:
Use the appropriate special operating condition for maintenance information when using high sulfur diesel fuels, operating your vehicle off-road or in dusty conditions, such as unpaved roads.
Note:
For every hour that your vehicle idles, it accumulates the equivalent of approximately
25 mi (40 km).

Diesel Engine
Electronic Air Filter Maintenance Minder
Diesel engines have an electronic air filter maintenance minder that indicates the status of the engine air filter. You can find this information within the Vehicle Maintenance menu, in the information displays. One of three indications are possible:
| Engine Air Filter Status Message | Result |
|---|---|
| Filter OK | Indicates the engine air filter is performing as expected. |
| Check filter7 | Indicates that there is a higher than expected restriction across the engine air filter, which could represent an air filter at full useful life or a filter with an obstruction. When this displays, inspect the engine air filter and replace if necessary. After the inspection or engine air filter replacement, you must reset the system in order to change the status from Check Filter to Filter OK. |
| System fault | Indicates that there is an error within the electronic air filter maintenance minder system requiring service. |
7Reset the engine air filter information monitor after you replace the air filter.
