Routine Service Defined



MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - DIESEL

AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL

- Check the engine oil level about 30 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.

ONCE A MONTH

- Inspect the batteries, and clean and tighten the terminals as required.

- Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and transmission and transfer case (if equipped), add as needed.

AT EACH OIL CHANGE

- Change the engine oil filter.

- Inspect the exhaust system.

- Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.

- Lubricate outer tie rod ends.

CAUTION:

- Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
- Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damages to the transfer case. Tire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear.
