Oil can lose important protective properties before it appears visibly dirty. Drivers may first notice an oil-change reminder, oil that looks dark or low on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note during startup. Booking service replaces the oil and filter with the grade specified for the engine.

• Helps carry heat away from engine components
• Helps remove suspended debris through the filter
• Addresses low or dark oil noticed during routine checks

Oil-change timing is based on mileage and time rather than oil appearance alone. Fort Worth driving conditions such as stop-and-go traffic, towing, heat, and dust can increase demands on engine oil. A service advisor can document the visit and help keep the vehicle’s maintenance history current.

• Follow the vehicle’s maintenance guidance
• Pay attention to the oil-life reminder
• Schedule service when the oil is low, dark, or overdue

Towing places additional demand on the engine and drivetrain, especially during repeated starts, climbs, and extended driving. An oil change keeps the engine filled with the specified oil and provides an opportunity to check underhood fluid levels. The vehicle is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

• Maximum towing ranges from 1,000 to 3,500 pounds
• Heavy use can increase engine workload
• Fluid-level checks are included with the oil-change service

The filter replacement is performed when the old engine oil is drained and the engine is refilled with the specified grade and capacity. Replacing the filter helps the lubrication system manage suspended debris. The oil-life monitor is also reset after service.

• Old oil is drained
• A new oil filter is installed
• The oil-life monitor is reset

The manufacturer maintenance schedule interval is not stated for this model year, so oil service should be planned using the vehicle’s maintenance guidance, oil-life reminder, mileage, and time. Oil loses additive performance and its ability to carry heat and debris before it necessarily looks dirty. Towing, stop-and-go driving, heat, and dust can place additional demands on engine oil.
