To purchase service information,
see Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 7-15.
Owner Checks and Services on
page 6-9 tells what should be
checked, when to check it, and what
can easily be done to help keep
the vehicle in good condition.
The proper replacement parts,
fluids, and lubricants to use
are listed in Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-12
and Maintenance Replacement
Parts on page 6-14. When the
vehicle is serviced, make sure these
are used. All parts should be
replaced and all necessary repairs
done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle. We recommend
the use of genuine parts from
your dealer/retailer.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON message displays,
service is required for the vehicle.
Have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible within the next
600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system
might not indicate that vehicle
service is necessary for over a year.
However, the engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once
a year and at this time the system
must be reset. Your dealer/retailer
has trained service technicians
who will perform this work using
genuine parts and reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever
reset accidentally, service the vehicle
within 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since
the last service. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil
is changed. See Engine Oil Life
System on page 5-15 for information
on the Engine Oil Life System and
resetting the system.
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message appears, certain
services, checks, and inspections
are required. Required services
are described in the following
for “Maintenance I” and
“Maintenance II.” Generally, it is
recommended that the first service
be Maintenance I, the second
service be Maintenance II, and then
alternate Maintenance I and
Maintenance II thereafter. However,
in some cases, Maintenance II may
be required more often.
