Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals

system will indicate when to change the engine oil - usually
between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 20 000 km
(12,500 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions,
the CHANGE OIL message may be displayed before 5 000 km
(3,000 miles).
The vehicle MUST NOT be driven more than 20 000 km (12,500 miles)
or 12 months without an oil change.

vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be sure to change the oil every 5 000 km
(3,000 miles) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL message is displayed.
