Your vehicle’s engine oil change indicator system is a feature that helps you keep track of when your engine oil needs to be changed. This system is designed to make it easier for you to maintain your vehicle’s engine and keep it running smoothly.

The instrument cluster will display the message “Oil Change Required” and sound a single chime to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval.

The engine oil change indicator system operates on a duty cycle basis. This means that the interval for changing the engine oil may vary depending on your personal driving style.
