WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
~ ~~~
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and
reminder systems are working properly. Look for any loose parts or damage.
If you see anything
that might keep
a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired.
Inspect the front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts,
signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system. Look for broken,
damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections, or
other conditions which could cause a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes
into the vehicle. See
Engine Exhaust in the Index.
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed.
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect
drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment.
You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often
if your driving habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
NOTE:
A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serviced.
Also, if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong with the
brake system. See the
Index under Brake System Warning Light. If your anti-lock brake system
warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong with the anti-lock brake system.
See the
Index under Anti-Lock Brake System Wawing Light.

Oldsmobile regularly sends its dealers
useful service bulletins about
Oldsmobile products. Oldsmobile
monitors product performance in the
field. We then prepare bulletins for
servicing our products better. Now, you
can get these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care of
your vehicle. Some describe costly
repairs. Others describe inexpensive repairs which,
if done
on time with the
latest parts, may avoid future costly
repairs. Some bulletins tell a technician
how to repair a new or unexpected
condition. Others describe a quicker
way to fix your vehicle. They can help a
technician service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number of cars or
trucks. Your Oldsmobile dealer or a
qualified technician may have to
determine if a specific bulletin applies
to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to all Oldsmobile
bulletins. This way you’ll get them as
they come out. You can wait a while
and get an index to the bulletins.
You
can also get individual bulletins.
However, you’ll need the index to
identify them.
Subscriptions

Product Service Publications
(PSP’s).
This will include bulletins for all
vehicles sold by Oldsmobile and will not
be limited to PSP’s applicable to any
