Oil change request light
(if equipped)
79JM007
Your vehicle has the oil life monitoring sys-
tem and related oil change request light
that alerts you to change the engine oil and
oil filter.
When this light comes on or blinks, change
engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine oil
and oil filter, refer to “Changing engine oil
and filter” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section.
Gasoline engine model and diesel engine
model have different lighting methods for
oil change request light. Check an appro-
priate method from the following descrip-
tions, according to your vehicle model.
(For gasoline engine model)
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON” so you
can check that light is working.
If either of odometer reading or time is
reached to the value which is set by the
system, this light blinks when the ignition
switch or engine switch is in “ON” position.
In addition, the message is shown on the
information display to tell you it is neces-
sary to change the engine oil and oil filter.
When the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, and the oil life monitoring system
is reset, this light will go out.
Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the light must be reset to monitor
the next oil change timing properly. The
light will go out after the reset. For the
resetting procedure, refer to “Information
display” in this section.
NOTE:
This light is used to facilitate the oil and oil
filter change according to the maintenance
schedule.
(For diesel engine model)
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON” so you
can check that light is working.
If this light blinks when the engine is run-
ning, you should change the engine oil and
oil filter immediately since the monitoring sys-
tem has calculated that oil life has been
diminished by a deterioration of engine oil.
When the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, and the oil life monitoring system
is reset, this light will go out.
NOTICE
Severe engine damage will result, if
you keep operating the engine after
this light comes on.
Change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately when the light blinks.
