The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change your
vehicle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil change even if the oil change indicator
message is NOT illuminated.
Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 8,000 miles (13 000 km) or six months,
whichever comes first.
Oil Change Indicator- Reset
The vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message flashes in the EVIC
display for approximately ten seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The
engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate depending
upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message continues to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the
message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the
scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. Do not start the engine.
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within ten seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “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.
