Engine Oil Life Monitor

The oil life monitor indicator light will come on when the engine oil needs to be changed, usually between 5,000 km (3,000 miles) and 12,500 km (7,500 miles) after the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the "CHANGE OIL" light may come on before 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The vehicle should not be driven more than 12,500 km (7,500) miles or twelve months without an oil change.

The system will not detect dust in the oil, so if the vehicle has been driven under dusty conditions, the oil should be changed every 5,000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the "CHANGE OIL" light comes on.

When changing oil, reset engine oil life monitor whether "CHANGE OIL" light comes on or not.

Reset monitor as follows:

1. Turn the key to the "ON" position, but don't start the engine.
2. Press the "ENG MET" button on the trip monitor and release. Then, within five seconds, press and release the "ENG MET" button again.
3. Within five seconds of Step 2, press and hold the "GAUGES" button on the trip monitor. The "CHANGE OIL" light will flash.
4. Hold the "GAUGES" button until the "CHANGE OIL" light stops flashing and goes out. When the light goes out, the engine oil life monitor is reset. If it doesn't reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure.
