Check for applicable trouble codes. I don't believe you have an oil life monitor on this vehicle? You can check for trouble codes, yourself. You use a jumper wire between the A & B terminals at the datalink connector. Turn key just till the dash lites come on, no further. Then the lamp on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the trouble codes. Your looking for two digit codes. Let us know the code numbers, if you find any?
