MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - CAB CHASSIS
At Each Stop for Fuel
Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while the
vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below
the ADD or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once a Month
Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and transmission and add as
needed.
Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
CAUTION:
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and
circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the transfer
case. Tire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear.
Oil Change Indicator System
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles, “Oil Change Required” will be displayed in the EVIC and a
single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the instrument cluster odometer and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service is required for
your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
