SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 225

SCHEDULED SERVICING

NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change inter-

vals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), twelve months or

350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. The

350 hours of engine run or idle time is generally only a

concern for fleet customers.

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.

Severe Duty All Models

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, and E85 fuel usage will influence

when the “Change Oil” or “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).

Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle

is operated in a dusty and off road environment or is

operated predominantly at idle or only very low engine

RPM’s. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

Check engine oil level.

8

Check windshield washer fluid level.

Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual

wear or damage.

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

Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for

further information.

Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir and brake

master cylinder, and fill as needed.

Check function of all interior and exterior lights.
