Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine
performance and long life,
careful attention must be paid
to engine oil. Following these
simple, but important steps
will help protect your
investment:
.Use engine oil approved to
the proper specification and
of the proper viscosity
grade. See “Selecting the
Right Engine Oil” in this
section.
.Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See
“Checking Engine Oil” and
“When to Add Engine Oil” in
this section.
.Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine
Oil Life System 0381.
.Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do
with Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level
regularly, every 650 km
(400 mi), especially prior to a
long trip. The engine oil
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment
Overview0373 for the
location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick
handle may be hot; it could
burn you. Use a towel or
glove to touch the dipstick
handle.
If a low oil Driver Information
Center (DIC) message displays,
check the oil level.

Vehicle Care 383
possible. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants0474
for the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
For vehicles with a manual
transmission, it is not
necessary to regularly check
brake/clutch fluid unless there
is a leak suspected. Adding
fluid will not correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have
the system inspected and
repaired.
When to Check and What
to Use
The brake/hydraulic clutch
fluid reservoir cap has this
symbol on it. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0373
for reservoir location. The common hydraulic clutch
and brake master cylinder fluid
reservoir is filled with brake
fluid as indicated on the
reservoir cap. See Brake Fluid
0
398 for brake fluid to use.
How to Check and Add
Fluid
Visually check the brake/
clutch fluid reservoir to make
sure the fluid level is at the
MIN (minimum) line on the side
of the reservoir. The brake/
hydraulic clutch fluid system
should be closed and sealed.
Do not remove the cap to
check the fluid level or to
top-off the fluid level. Remove
the cap only when necessary
to add the proper fluid until
the level reaches the MIN line.
Engine Air Filter Life
System
This feature provides the
engine air filter’s remaining life
and best timing for a change.
The timing to change an engine air filter depends on
driving and environmental
conditions.
When to Change the
Engine Air Filter
When the Driver Information
Center (DIC) displays a
message to replace the engine
air filter at the next oil change,
follow this timing.
When the DIC displays a
message to replace the engine
air filter soon, replace the
engine air filter at the earliest
convenience.
The system must be reset
after the engine air filter is
changed.
If the DIC displays a message
to check the engine air filter
system, see your dealer.
How to Reset the Engine
Air Filter Life System
To reset:
1. Place the vehicle in P (Park).

Brake Fluid
The brake/clutch master
cylinder reservoir is filled with
GM approved DOT 4 brake
fluid as indicated on the
reservoir cap. See Engine
Compartment Overview0373
for the location of the
reservoir.
Checking Brake Fluid
Place the vehicle in P (Park) or
Neutral with the parking brake
applied if equipped with a
manual transmission. On a
level surface, the brake fluid
level should be between the
minimum and maximum marks
on the brake fluid reservoir. There are only two reasons
why the brake fluid level in the
reservoir may go down:
.Normal brake lining wear.
When new linings are
installed, the fluid level goes
back up.
.A fluid leak in the brake/
clutch hydraulic system.
Have the brake/clutch
hydraulic system fixed. With
a leak, the brakes will not
work well.
Always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before
removing it.
Do not top off the brake/
clutch fluid. Adding fluid does
not correct a leak. If fluid is
added when the linings are
worn, there will be too much
fluid when new brake linings
are installed. Add or remove
fluid, as necessary, only when
work is done on the brake/
clutch hydraulic system.
{Warning
If too much brake fluid is
added, it can spill on the
engine and burn, if the
engine is hot enough. You or
others could be burned, and
the vehicle could be
damaged. Add brake fluid
only when work is done on
the brake/clutch hydraulic
system.
When the brake/clutch fluid
falls to a low level, the brake
warning light comes on. See
Brake System Warning Light
0 120.
Brake fluid absorbs water over
time which degrades the
effectiveness of the brake
fluid. Replace brake fluid at the
specified intervals to prevent
increased stopping distance.
See Maintenance Schedule
0 469.

To access the fuses, remove
the end panel by gently prying
with a plastic tool near each
clip, beginning at the point
shown.
