These models have an oil life indicator system where a light or some message on the instrument panel beams at the driver when it is time to change the oil based on a number of factors in order to evaluate the condition of the oil. It generally enables drivers to go more miles between oil changes than the 3000-mile specifications, although, frequent changes are recommended for the life of the engine. If one decides to go with the oil life indicator method, do not go over one year or 7,500 miles before changing the oil. Periodic oil change is very essential in order to mitigate problems associated with contaminated oil to the engine. As a measure of preparation, one should have all the required tools within having rags handy in case any spillage occurs. Jack stands are safe to use and raising the vehicle allows easy access to the oil drain plug and filter. Find the oil drain plug and the filter and warm up the engine so that the oil will be easier to drain. After siphoning the engine oil then wash the drain plug plus the surrounding regions then finally can it be fitted back. For V6 engines, one has to take off the upper engine cover so as to replace the oil filter and one has to unscrew the oil filter cap. In V8 engines, place a drain pan beneath the filter, slightly unscrew it then make sure the panel on which it is mounted is clean before installing the new filter. After putting back all tools and other material, replace the lost oil through the filler cap then check the quantity through the dipstick. Cranking the engine for a few minutes will ensure that any dripping ceases and check the oil level again. Transport and dump the old oil in authorized stations that deal in the recycling of used oil. Of course, the oil life monitor can be reset in different ways depending on the model year of your car: use the Driver's Information Center or step on the accelerator pedal in certain sequences if your car does not have the center.

These models come with an oil life indicator system which illuminates a light or a message on the instrument panel that it is time to go for an oil change depending on the consideration of a number of factors with regard to the condition of the oil. This system usually enables the intervals in between the changes to be longer than the generally recommended 3000-mile intervals but constant changes are recommended for durability of the engines. If deciding to make the aforementioned use of the indicator, 1 year or 7,500 miles should not be exceeded between changes. Oil must be refilled often, especially for a preventive measure because when the oil gets old, it embodies the propensity of causing more wear and tear to an engine. Before starting have all the equipment within easy reach and be sure to have rags to clean up spills. Chock the wheels, wheel the car and place it on jackstands safely and wearing heat resisting gloves and other protective gear find the oil drain plug and filter, often exposed to high heat. The engine should be warmed up in order to allow faster oil run out; the oil filler cap and splash shield, if there is any should then be removed. Place an oil pan beneath the engine oil pan then loosen the drain bolt efficiently and check whether the used engine oil contains metal pieces or not, After that, remove the drain plug and clean the area of the drain plug before strengthening it once more. Shift the drain pan beneath the oil filter, unscrew it employing the wrench, and take off the filter with the car tilted to avoid drippings. Remove all the dirt on the mounting surface and make certain that there is no existing gasket present. It is necessary to compare the old and new filters and grease the gasket of the new filter before installing it without applying of the great pressure. Pull out all your tools and materials from the car, then place the vehicle in its lowest position and subsequently fill up the engine with fresh oil via the proper filler cap, to prevent spillage one should use a funnel. Add the right amount of oil, to the feeler gauge touch the dipstick and replace the cap. Engage the engine, then examine for leakage, and fasten if leaking is observed with engine running. Oil level must be checked after certain distance and added if necessary while few days of initial test drive should be kept an eye for any leakage. Neutralise the used oil and get rid of it in an environmentally friendly way, don't pour it down the sink or on the floor. To reset the oil life monitor, the ignition has to be set to the ON status, the remaining quantity of the oil must be displayed, the RESET button has to be pressed for some time until the "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" sign appears and, finally, the ignition has to be turned off.

These vehicles have oil life indicator system that turns on the light on the instrument panel to signify that it is time to change the oil; considers a number of factors to determine condition of oil. This system usually enshrines the possibility of infrequent oil changes as compared to the heretofore 3000-mile intervals, while frequent changes are said to be healthy for the engine. If, however, you are to stick with the oil life indicator option, never exceed 10000 miles between changes. Oil changes are also a routine practice to maintain your automobile, due to the fact that old oil harms the engine. The oil filter should be replaced at any oil change since it is cheap than the oil and easy to replace. As a matter of precaution, it is always good to organize all the needed tools and materials, and have a clear path to the underside of the vehicle. Preheat then to ensure proper flow of oil, and for better stability lift the vehicle accordingly. Take off the splash shield then place a drain pan beneath the drain plug being careful on hot parts when undoing the plug. During the process, give time for the oil to drip off, clean the drain plug before fixing it properly. Subsequently set the drain pan beneath the oil filter and with the use of a wrench, remove it and dispose the oil that is present onto the pan. The old and new filters should be compared to check if they are compatible, the area in which the filters are mounted should be cleaned and the gaskets should be checked to see whether they are stuck. Dip the new filter gasket in clean oil before installing the filter and tighten the same to the manufacturer's recommendations. Once all the tools have been taken off the car and the car lowered begin to add fresh oil into the engine through the funnel and check the level with the dip stick and add more if the level is low. Start it up for a couple of minutes to spread the oil around and then make sure there are no drips and then check the dipstick again. In disposing the old oil, it should be done reasonably, and the oil taken to a recycling station. The Oil Life Monitor is a feature which monitors engine conditions and which will prompt when it is time to perform an oil change and needs to be reset with the help of the DIC in order to remove the OIL LIFE light.

There are models which come with the oil life indicator system which alerts the driver when the oil is due for replacement taking factors such as time, mileage among others as key indicators that the oil is 'worn out'. The system opens up for a wider range of miles before an oil change and even though frequent changes are encouraged as they help in the duration of the engine life. Should one decide to stick to the oil life indicator, one should change the oil after at most, 7,500 miles. Changing the oil of the engine regularly is one of the significant steps in the preventive measures as the old oil gets thinned and mixed with some unwanted particles which accelerate the wear of the engine. Since it is very cheap and easy to replace the oil filter, it is recommended that it is done every time the oil is changed. Prepare all the necessary equipment and products in advance; in particular, it should be noted the availability of clean rags and newspapers for carrying out spills. To increase access it can be pulled up on a hoist, ramps, or jack stands; it is dangerous to work underneath a car which is only supported by a bumper or a jack. Be aware of the position of the oil draining plug and the oil filter; also ensure the flow of warmed up engine before starting. After the engine has warmed up, proceed to lift the car slightly and securely so as to place a drain pan underneath the drain bolt. Ensure you slowly unscrew the drain plug; allow the oil to drain right into the pan and then clean the drain plug opening before replacing it back tightly. Place the drain pan beneath the oil filter, use the oil filter wrench in order to loosen and remove the old filter and ensure that the new filter which is to be put is of the same type. Scrub the mounting surface to remove dirt and if the gasket is adhered to the newly acquired filter then it can be unstuck and it is recommended that a small amount of clean oil is applied to the fresh gasket before its installation as it is done in the manufacturer's guide. Upon the removal of all tool and rags, lower the vehicle and add fresh oil through the filler opening, measure with the dipstick after it settles down. Start and let for a couple of minutes and inspect for oil leaks or put the engine on and for the first trips inspect for dripping and ensure the oil levels are appropriate. It is good to discard the old oil, however, make sure that the waste is taken to a recycling company that deals with the same. The Oil Life Monitor is designed to monitor the engine operating factors and let the driver know when it is time to change the oil; to reset it, one needs to turn the ignition to the run position and stamp the accelerator pedal three times and the OLM should blink.

Most of these vehicles have an oil life indicator system that lights up on the instrument panel when the oil is due for change, and this considering other factors considers the oil as 'worn out' This system is normally more flexible than the absolute 3000 miles one, though extra frequent changes are advised for the engines' overall health. If one decides to go by the oil life indicator, do not go beyond 10,000 miles before you change the oil. Subsequently, one needs frequent oil changes; because as the oil grows older, it weakens and accumulates deposits. This is easily justifiable because of the cheap price and couples with the oil change meaning that one has to change the oil filter frequently. At the beginning, make sure cleanliness for spills is attained through having clean rags as well as newspapers within your access range. This is much easier if the vehicle is being hoisted on a jack or standing on ramps at least at the end of the collision where the damage is believed to have happened. Become familiar to the location of the oil drain plug and filter, ensure the engine is at normal working temp and then safely jack up the car. Locate yourself under the vehicle and unscrew the drain plug after removing the under vehicle splash shield and place a drain pan to capture the falling oil. The final process is just to remove the plug and wash it and then put it in the right place and ensure it is well fixed. Slide the drain pan beneath the oil filter, position an oil filter wrench to get a grip and remove the old filter and finally examine the new filter and the old one for compatibility. Lightly wipe the base where it is to be mounted, check for gasket which may have got stuck and lubricate the gasket that comes with the new filter. Bolt all the tools and then lower the car and pour fresh oil through the filler opening because spilling is avoided by using a funnel and add the necessary amount of oil. Switch off the engine and look for the oil leakage and take a second look at the dip stick; if it is low, you add more oil. It is advisable to check for leaks and also oil levels after few uses after an oil change has been done. Eliminate the used oil in an appropriate manner with a view of taking it to a center where it will be recycled. The Oil Life Monitor is designed to keep an eye on engine conditions and to advise when the oil must be changed; to reset, the ignition key and throttle pedal must be operated in a certain way. If the system is equipped with a driver information center the use of the fuel information button will enable the resetting of oil life system.
