Oil change intervals for normal and severe
duty applications.
The intervals are based on the vehicles
average speed/miles per hour (mph).
(Which includes idle time.) Locate your
vehicles average vehicle speed/mph in the
first column to determine the oil change/
filter change interval to use. If the vehicle is

maximum recommended oil change and oil
filter change intervals in kilometers [miles]/
hours or months, whichever comes first.

factors such as corrosion, deposits,
and wear. Engine oil filters capture dirt
and remove deposits from the oil to
