• If you drive in severe conditions (frequent short trips, towing up to the vehicle’s 5,000 lb capacity, city stop-and-go, or dusty environments), consider shorter intervals to protect the turbo and engine.
• Regular oil changes preserve fuel economy, minimize deposit buildup, and uphold emissions performance—key factors for long-term ownership satisfaction.
• Maintain records of service at a certified dealership to protect warranty eligibility and demonstrate proper care to future buyers.
