"Engine Oil Capacity"

The "PM 1 Interval" can be determined by the ECM. The ECM bases the "PM 1 Interval" on fuel usage. This parameter ("Engine Oil Capacity") can be programmed only when the "Maintenance Indicator Mode" is programmed to an automatic mode (distance or hours). Capacity of the sump influences the maintenance interval.
