CAUTION:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off can cause you or others to be burned.
The air cleaner not only cleans the air,
it helps to stop flame if the engine backfires.
If it is not there and the engine backfires,
you could be burned. Do not drive with it off,
and be careful working on the engine with
the air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire can
cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily get
into your engine, which will damage it. Always have
the air cleaner/filter in place when you are driving.

level is when the engine oil is changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one
or more of these conditions:
•
In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher
•
In hilly or mountainous terrain
•
When doing frequent trailer towing
•
Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery
service
If you do not use your vehicle under any of
these conditions, change the fluid and filter at
100,000 miles (166 000 km).
