. Change the oil as soon
as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles) or
30 hours of engine operation, whichever occurs first.
It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions,
the oil life system might not indicate that an oil change
is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil
and filter must be changed at least once a year and at
this time the system must be reset. Your dealer/retailer
has trained service people who will perform this work
using genuine parts and reset the system. It is also
important to check the oil regularly and keep it at the
proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be
changed at 5 000 km (3,000 miles), or 150 hours of
engine operation, whichever occurs first, since the last
oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system
whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change
the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use.
Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can
calculate when the next oil change is required. If a
situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a
change engine oil light being turned on, reset the
system.
To reset the Engine Oil Life System:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within five seconds.
If the change engine oil light is turned off, the
system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the Engine Oil Life System has not
reset. Repeat the procedure.
