Diesel Engine(s)

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor

Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor that determines when you should
change the engine oil based on how you
use your vehicle. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time.

This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.

The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.

When to expect the message prompting you to change your oil

Vehicle use and example

Miles (km)

Normal

7500-10000

(12000-16000)

Normal commuting with highway driving
No, or moderate, load or towing
Flat to moderately hilly roads
No extended idling

Severe

5000-7499

(8000-11999)

Moderate to heavy load or towing
Mountainous or off-road conditions
Extended idling (200-300 hours)
Extended hot or cold operation

Extreme

3000-4999

(4000-7999)

Extreme hot or cold operation
Use of high sulfur diesel fuel

Note: Use the appropriate special operating condition for maintenance information when
using high sulfur diesel fuels, operating your vehicle off-road or in dusty conditions (such as
unpaved roads).

Note: For every hour that your vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers) of driving.

You can perform these maintenance items within 3000 miles (4800 kilometers) of the

last oil change. Do not exceed the designated distance for the interval.

Note: When adding coolant additive, do not exceed the specified maximum of 48 fluid
ounces (1.4 liters) for the engine and 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) for the secondary cooling
system. Operating the engine with excessive coolant additive may cause overheating which
could lead to severe, permanent engine damage.

2

Perform follow-up inspections every 15000 miles (24000 kilometers) after the initial

inspection. Replace the belt(s) at 150000 miles (240000 kilometers).
