The visit also includes a check of the underhood fluid levels. Oil service matters because engine oil gradually loses additive performance and its ability to carry heat and debris, even when its appearance does not clearly signal a problem. Drivers should pay attention to an oil-change reminder, a mileage past the last service, dark or low dipstick oil, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup. A manufacturer maintenance interval is not stated for this model year, so no mileage interval is specified here.
