If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes back on
when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system
has not reset. Repeat the procedure. If it still does
not reset, see your dealer for service.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer’s
warning about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by
taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a
problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The air cleaner/filter
assembly may have an air
cleaner/filter restriction
indicator that lets you know
when the engine air
cleaner/filter is dirty and
needs to be serviced.
The air cleaner/filter restriction indicator is
located on the air cleaner cover.
When to Inspect
Inspect the air cleaner/filter every 15,000 miles
(25 000 km) and replace the filter if necessary.
How to Inspect
When the restriction indicator turns black, or is in
the red/orange “change” zone, replace the filter and
reset the restriction indicator.
