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

maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter at the first

5,000 miles (8 000 km) or 3 months -- whichever occurs

first. Then, change the oil and filter every 10,000 miles

(16 000 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

The air cleaner is located behind the headlamps on

the passenger’s side of the engine. Be sure the engine

has cooled before following these steps to replace the

air filter.
