These vehicles come equipped with an oil life indicator system that suggests when it's time to change the oil, typically allowing for longer intervals between changes than the traditional 3,000-mile recommendation. However, it's advisable to change the oil more frequently, not exceeding 10,000 miles, as frequent oil changes are crucial for engine longevity. Oil filter replacement is recommended with every oil change to ensure optimal engine performance. Before starting the oil change process, gather necessary tools and materials, and prepare to clean up any spills using rags and newspapers. Ensure the vehicle is safely elevated for access to the underside but avoid working under it while supported solely by a jack. Warm up the engine, gather the required oil, and locate the oil drain plug and filter. Then, proceed to drain the old oil into a pan, clean the drain plug, and reinstall it. Remove the old filter, clean the mounting area, and install the new filter after applying a light coat of oil to its gasket. Lower the vehicle, add the specified amount of fresh oil, check the oil level, start the engine briefly, and check for leaks. Dispose of the old oil properly by recycling it at a designated facility. If the vehicle features an Oil Life Monitor system, reset it after each oil change following specific steps based on whether it has DIC buttons or not.
