MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

There are two maintenance schedules that show

the required service for your vehicle.

First is Schedule

(B(. It is for vehicles that are

operated under the conditions that are listed below
and at the beginning of the schedule.

• Stop and go driving

• Excessive 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

• Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial ser-

vice)

• 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

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

0 - 7

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.

Once a Month

• Check the tire pressure and look for unusual

wear or damage.

• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the

terminals as required.

• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir,

brake master cylinder, power steering, and transmis-
sion, and add as needed.

• Check all lights and all other electrical items for

correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

• Change the engine oil filter.

• Inspect the exhaust system.

• Inspect brake hoses.

• Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.

• Rotate the tires.

• Inspect manual transmission fluid level - if

equipped.

• After completion of off-road operation, the

underside

the

vehicle

should

thoroughly

inspected. Examine threaded fasteners for looseness.
