in premature water pump seal failure. If non-HOAT
coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an
emergency, it should be replaced with the specified
coolant as soon as possible.

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

FLUID TYPES (Continued)

• If equipped for and operating with E-85

(ethanol) fuel.

NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change
your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5,000 km) or 3
months, whichever comes first and follow schedule
B of the “Maintenance Schedules” section of this
manual.

NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then flush and
replace the engine coolant every 102,000 miles
(164,000 km) or 60 months, whichever comes first,
and follow schedule B of the

(

Maintenance Sched-

ules

(

section of this manual.

NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the condi-
tions listed for Schedule

(

Second is Schedule “A”. It is for vehicles that are

not operated under any of the conditions listed under
Schedule

9B9.

Use the schedule that best describes your driving

conditions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow
the interval that occurs first.

NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 6 months or 6,000 miles, which-
ever comes first.

CAUTION: Failure to perform the required mainte-
nance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

At Each Stop for Fuel

• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after

a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil
level while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil
only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN
mark.

• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if

required.

Once a Month

• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear

or damage.

• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the

terminals as required.

• Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake

master cylinder, power steering and transmission
and add as needed.

• Check all lights and all other electrical items for

correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

• Change the engine oil filter.

• Inspect the exhaust system.

• Inspect the brake hoses.

• Inspect the suspension components.

• Lubricate door hinges and check springs.

• Check the engine coolant level, hoses, and

clamps.

• Check power steering fluid level.

vehicle under one or more of the following conditions.

• Day or night temperatures are below 32° F (0°

C).

• Stop and go driving.

• Extensive engine idling.
