Oil Change Indicator - Reset

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X, 3.6 G, RWDSECTION Oil Change Indicator - Reset

The vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The "Oil Change Required" message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position (Do not start the engine).
  2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it fully pressed for at least 30 seconds.
  3. Press and release the brake pedal six times while holding the accelerator pedal pressed.

At Each Stop for Fuel

  • Check the engine oil level about 15 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 the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering and add as needed.
  • Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

  • Change the engine oil filter.
  • Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
  • Inspect for the presence of water in the fuel filter/water separator unit.
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 damage to the transfer case. Tire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following Chart for the required maintenance intervals.
