Oil Maintenance & Service Tips
Always use a manufacturer-approved oil filter and change the oil and filter at the recommended interval. Full synthetic oil offers better protection and longer change intervals for normal driving. For severe driving conditions, such as frequent towing, short trips, or dusty environments, change oil more frequently. Check the oil level regularly using the dipstick and never overfill the engine.
| Driving Condition | Oil Type | Change Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Full Synthetic | Every 7,500 miles |
| Severe | Full Synthetic | Every 3,750 miles |
| Normal | Conventional | Every 3,000–5,000 miles |
| Severe | Conventional | Every 3,000 miles |
