First you will need to decide which of the two schedules is right for your vehicle. Here is how to decide which schedule to follow:
Short Trip/City Definition
Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance if any one of these conditions is true for your vehicle:
| • | Most trips are less than 5 miles (8 km). This is particularly important when outside temperatures are below freezing. |
| • | Most trips include extensive idling, such as frequent driving in stop-and-go traffic. |
| • | You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of your vehicle. With some models, you should never tow a trailer. See Towing a Trailer . |
| • | If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi or other commercial application. |
One of the reasons you should follow this schedule if you operate your vehicle under any of these conditions is that these conditions cause engine oil to break down sooner.
Short Trip/City Intervals
Every 3,000 Miles (5 000 km): Engine Oil and Filter Change (or 3 months, whichever occurs first).Every 6,000 Miles (10 000 km): Chassis Lubrication (or 6 months, whichever occurs first). Tire Rotation.
Every 15,000 Miles (25 000 km): Engine Air Cleaner Filter Inspection.
Every 30,000 Miles (50 000 km): Engine Air Cleaner Filter Replacement.
Every 50,000 Miles (83 000 km): Automatic Transaxle Service (severe conditions only).
Every 100,000 Miles (166 000 km): Spark Plug Wire Inspection. Spark Plug Replacement.
Every 150 000 Miles (240 000 km): Cooling System Service (or every 60 months, whichever occurs first). Engine Accessory Drive Belt Inspection.
These intervals only summarize maintenance services. Be sure to follow the complete scheduled maintenance on the following pages.
Long Trip/Highway Definition
Follow this scheduled maintenance only if none of the conditions from the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance are true. Do not use this schedule if the vehicle is used for trailer towing, driven in a dusty area or used off paved roads. Use the Short Trip/City schedule for these conditions.
Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed engine under highway conditions will cause engine oil to break down slower.
Long Trip/Highway Intervals
Every 7,500 Miles (12 500 km): Engine Oil and Filter Change (or every 12 months, whichever occurs first). Chassis Lubrication (or 12 months, whichever occurs first). Tire Rotation.Every 15,000 Miles (25 000 km): Engine Air Cleaner Filter Inspection.
Every 30,000 Miles (50 000 km): Engine Air Cleaner Filter Replacement.
Every 50,000 Miles (83 000 km): Automatic Transaxle Service (severe conditions only).
Every 100,000 Miles (166 000 km): Spark Plug Wire Inspection. Spark Plug Replacement.
Every 150,000 Miles (240 000 km): Cooling System Service (or every 60 months, whichever occurs first). Engine Accessory Drive Belt Inspection.
