Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Checking Oil Level
Check engine oil level on level ground when the engine is cold for accurate readings. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, reinsert fully, and check that the oil level falls within the safe zone markings.
Oil Change Best Practices
Replace the oil filter with every oil change to maintain proper filtration. Torque the oil drain plug to 20 lb-ft using a 13mm socket to prevent leaks and thread damage. Allow the engine to cool and drain completely before installing the new oil filter.
Driving Conditions Impact
The oil change indicator system adapts based on driving habits and may signal service between 3,500 and 10,000 miles. Frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, towing, and off-road driving require more frequent oil changes. Change oil at least once annually even with low mileage.
| Driving Condition | Oil Change Interval |
|---|---|
| Normal Driving | 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months |
| Severe Driving | 3,500-5,000 miles or 6 months |
