    • On unleaded gasoline of the recommended type. For information on the proper type of fuel to use, refer to the Owner's Manual.

Maintenance Schedule Intervals

The services shown in this schedule up to 166 000 km (100,000 miles) should be performed after 166 000 km (100,000 miles) at the same intervals. The services shown in this schedule to be performed at 240 000 km (150,000 miles) should be performed after 240 000 km (150,000 miles) at the same intervals.

Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals

This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. The engine oil life monitor will indicate when to change the engine oil - usually between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 12 500 km (7,500 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 12 500 km (7,500 miles) or 12 months without an oil change.

The engine oil life monitor will not detect dust in the oil. If the 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.

Footnotes
