DESCRIPTION

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - GASOLINE ENGINES

There are two maintenance schedules that show the required service for your vehicle.

First is Schedule

ning of the schedule.

•

Day or night temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).

•

Stop and go driving.

•

Extensive engine idling.

•

Driving in dusty conditions.

•

Short trips of less than 10 miles (16.2 km).

•

More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather, above 90°F (32°C).

•

Trailer towing.

•

Heavy loading.

•

Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial service).

•

Off-road or desert driving.

•

If equipped for and operated with E-85 (ethanol) fuel.

NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months,

CAUTION: Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

At Each Stop for Fuel

•

Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while
the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is
at or below the ADD or MIN mark.

•

Check the windshield washer solvent, add as required.

•

Check the tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.

•

Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
