When the CHANGE OIL SOON message appears, certain services, checks, and inspections are required. Required services are described in the following for "Maintenance I" and "Maintenance II." Generally, it is recommended that your first service be Maintenance I, your second service be Maintenance II, and that you alternate Maintenance I and Maintenance II thereafter. However, in some cases, Maintenance II may be required more often. Maintenance I - Use Maintenance I if the message comes on within 10 months since the vehicle was purchased or Maintenance II was performed. Maintenance II - Use Maintenance II if the previous service performed was Maintenance I.
