Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals

This vehicle is equipped with a GM Oil Life Systemâ„¢. The GM Oil Life Systemâ„¢ will show when to change the engine oil and oil filter. This will usually occur between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 16 000 km (10,000 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on before 5 000 km (3,000 miles).

Never drive the vehicle more than 16 000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months without an oil and oil filter change. The system will not detect dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be sure to change the oil and oil filter every 5 000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL SOON indicator comes on. Reset the Oil Life System when the oil and filter have been changed.

This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. For description and resetting information, refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting .
