WARNING!

You can be badly injured working on or around a
motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which
you have the knowledge and the right equipment. If
you have any doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a competent
mechanic.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES — 6.7L TURBO
DIESEL

CAUTION!

Failure to perform the required maintenance items
may result in damage to the vehicle.

At Each Stop for Fuel
• Check the engine oil level about 30 minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level
while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the
accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when
the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.

• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if

required. When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel
and wipe clean the wiper blades, this will help blade
performance.

Once a Month

• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or

damage.

• Inspect the batteries and clean and tighten the termi-

nals as required.

• Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake

master cylinder, and transmission and transfer case (if
equipped), add as needed.

• Check Filter Minder™. Replace air cleaner filter

element if necessary.

• Check all lights and all other electrical items for correct

operation.

• Drain water from the fuel filter.

At Each Oil Change

• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the exhaust system.
• Inspect the brake hoses.
• Inspect the U-Joints ( if equipped) and front suspen-

sion components.

• Check the automatic transmission fluid level.
• Check the instruction transmission fluid level.
• Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
• Lubricate outer tie rod ends (4X4) models only.
• Lubricate Front Drive Shaft Fitting ( 4X4).

Inspection and service should also be performed anytime
a malfunction is observed or suspected. Retain all re-
ceipts.

Oil Change Indicator System
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. This system will alert you when it is
time to change your engine oil by displaying the words
“Oil Change Required” on your Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC). The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil
change interval may fluctuate depending on your per-
sonal driving style. Driving styles such as frequent stop
and go type driving can increase the frequency of the
engine oil change. This is the result of more frequent
regeneration of the exhaust aftertreatment system, which
can decrease the life of the engine oil. Failure to change
the engine oil per the maintenance schedule can result in
internal engine damage.

For information on resetting the Oil Change Indicator
message, refer to “Oil Change Required – If Equipped,”
under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Fea-
tures),” in the “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” Section of this manual.

Perform Service Indicator
Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set
interval. To help remind you when this maintenance is
due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)

will display “Perform Service”. When the “Perform Ser-
vice” message is displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to
have the emissions maintenance performed. Emissions
maintenance includes replacing the Closed Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) filter element, cleaning or replacement
of the EGR Cooler, and cleaning or replacement of the
EGR Valve. The procedure for clearing and resetting the

⬙Perform Service⬙ indicator message is located in the
appropriate Service Information.
