(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one
or more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches 90 F (32 C) or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
When doing frequent trailer towing.

If you do not use your vehicle under any of
these conditions, change the fluid and filter every
100,000 miles (166 000 km).
