Long Trip/Highway Maintenance ScheduleThe services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles(166 000 km) should be performed after 100,000 miles(166 000 km) at the same intervals.FootnotesThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or theCalifornia Air Resources Board has determined that thefailure to perform this maintenance item will not nullifythe emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to thecompletion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however,urge that all recommended maintenance services beperformed at the indicated intervals and the maintenancebe recorded.* If your vehicle has an Engine Oil Life Monitor, themonitor will show you when to change the oil -- usuallybetween 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles(12 500 km) since your last oil change. Undersevere conditions, the indicator may come on before3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle morethan 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months, (whicheveroccurs first), without an oil change.The system won’t detect dust in the oil. So if youdrive in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil every3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the CHANGE OILlight comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life Monitorwhen the oil has been changed.
