Danger
Engine oil is an irritant and if
ingested, can cause illness or
death.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with skin.
Wash exposed areas with soap
and water or hand cleaner.
Be careful when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system
that indicates when to change the
engine oil and filter. This is based
on a combination of factors which
include engine revolutions, engine
temperature, and miles driven.
Based on driving conditions, the
mileage at which an oil change is
indicated can vary considerably. For
the oil life system to work properly,
the system must be reset every time
the oil is changed.
On some vehicles, when the system
has calculated that oil life has been
diminished, a CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON message comes on to
indicate that an oil change is
necessary. See
. Change the oil as
soon as possible within the next
1 000 km (600 mi). It is possible
that, if driving under the best
conditions, the oil life system might
indicate that an oil change is not
necessary for up to a year. The
engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and,
at this time, the system must be
reset. For vehicles without the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message, an oil change is needed
when the OIL LIFE REMAINING
percentage is near 0%. Your dealer
has trained service people who will
perform this work and reset the
system. It is also important to check
the oil regularly over the course of
an oil drain interval and keep it at
the proper level.
If the system is ever reset
accidentally,the engine oil and filter
must be changed in accordance
with the Maintenance schedule
outlined in the Service/Warranty
Booklet. Remember to reset the oil
life system whenever the oil is
changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil
Life System
Reset the system whenever the
engine oil is changed so that the
system can calculate the next
engine oil change. Always reset the
engine oil life to 100% after every oil
change. It will not reset itself. To
reset the engine oil life system:
1. Display the OIL LIFE
REMAINING on the Driver
Information System (DIC). See
Driver Information Centre
(DIC)
2. Press and hold SET/CLR for
several seconds. The oil life
will change to 100%.
