It may be necessary to add some oil between oil

changes. Make sure you use a CERTIFIED engine

oil of the preferred viscosity. Your vehicle’s

warranty coverage may not apply if engine damage

is caused by the use of improper engine oil.

Add engine oil through the oil filler cap highlighted

in yellow. To add oil, remove the filler cap and use

a funnel to pour oil into the opening. Be careful not

to overfill the engine. Recheck the oil level after

you finish adding oil.

Changing the Engine Oil and the Oil

Filter

Your vehicle has an OIL LIFE LEFT function as part

of the Vehicle Message Center (M/C). This device

displays the percent of useful engine oil life left and

when an oil change is required. Use of a

CERTIFIED oil of the preferred viscosity is required

for this device to work properly. Change your

engine oil and oil filter when the message center

displays CHANGE OIL SOON or OIL CHANGE

REQUIRED. If the Message Center malfunctions,

you may determine your oil change interval based

on the following guidelines.

Change your engine oil and oil filter according to

these mileage and time requirements, whichever

occurs first.
