This display shows an estimate of the oil's
remaining useful life. If OIL LIFE 99%

the current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will
appear on the display. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
. In addition to the Engine Oil Life
System monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See
for more
information.
Remember, the Oil Life display must be
reset after each oil change. It will not reset
itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Oil

achieved for the selected distance.

another.

that require immediate action cannot be
