Inspect valve clearance Replace engine coolant Replace rear differential fluid 2 Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher level of mechanical (shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). 3 4 1 : If the message ''SERVICE DUE NOW'' does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every year.
