scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent
upon your personal driving style.
NOTE: When prompted by the Engine Oil Change
Indicator System, the engine oil and filter must be
changed. If not prompted by the Engine Oil Change
Indicator System within 7,500 miles (12 000 km) or
six months since the last oil and filter change, change the
engine oil and engine oil filter. Under no circumstances
should engine oil intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12 000 km) or six months, whichever comes first.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN

tor system (after performing the scheduled maintenance)

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not
start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
