for up to a year. The engine oil and
filter must be changed at least once
a year and the oil life system must

technician can perform this work.
If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle
within 5 000 km/3,000 mi since the
last service. Reset the oil life
system when the oil is changed.
