If none of them is true, use the long trip/highway

maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter every

7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months -- whichever

occurs first. Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed

engine under highway conditions causes engine oil to

break down slower.

What to Do with Used Oil

Did you know that used engine oil contains certain

elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could

even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin

for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and

water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw

away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See

the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal

of oil products.

Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you

change your own oil, be sure to drain all free

-flowing oil

from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil

by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into

sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,

recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If

you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,

ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling

center for help.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

(Gasoline Engines)

The engine air cleaner/filter

assembly has an indicator

that lets you know when the

air filter is dirty and needs

to be serviced. See “Owner

Checks and Services” in the

Index to determine when to

check the indicator.

If the area inside the clear section of the indicator is

green, no air filter service is required. When the area

inside the indicator is orange and CHANGE AIR

FILTER appears, the filter should be replaced.
