What is an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor System?
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor (IOLM) keeps track of your driving habits and calculates the health of your engine oil.
The Intelligent Oil Life Monitor System (IOLM) uses actual engine data, current and operating conditions plus your driving habits to calculate precisely when you need an oil change; an instrument cluster message alerts you when it's time to change oil and filters.
The Engine Oil change reminder uses several important factors in its calculations, such as driving habits and driving conditions, to determine if an engine oil change is required.
Information Messages

| Oil Level Low Add Oil | Displays when the engine oil level is too low. Add engine oil as soon as possible. |
