Don't add anything to your oil. Your GM dealer is ready
to advise if you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
If any one of these is true for you. use the short tripkity
. maintenance schedule:
a
a
a
0
a
Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km).
This is particularly important when outside
temperatures are below freezing.
Most trips include extensive idling (such
as frequent
driving in stop-and-go traffic).
You operate
your vehicle in dusty areas or
off-road frequently.
You frequently tow
a trailer or use a currier on top of
your vehicle.
The vehicle is used for delivery service. police, taxi
or other commercial application. Driving under
these conditions causes engine oil
to
break down sooner. If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, then you need
to change your oil and filter
every
3.000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months -- whichever
occllrs first.
If none of them is true, use the long trip/highway
maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter every
7,500 miles ( 12 500 km) or 12 months -- whichever
occurs first. Driving
a vehicle with a fully warmed
engine under highway conditions causes engine oil
to
break down slower.
Remote Oil Filter (Four-wheel Drive)
The access door for the remote oil filter is in the steering
linkage shield assembly located under the radiator
support.
Twist the screw to unlock or lock the door.
Make sure
if you open the door. it is securely closed
when
~OLI are finished.

NOTICE:
If your vehicle has P235/75R15, P235/70R15 or
31x10.50Rl5LT/C size tires, don’t use tire chains.
They can damage your vehicle because there’s
not enough clearance.
Use another type of traction device only if its
manufacturer recommends
it for use on your
vehicle and tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer’s
instructions.
To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or remove the
device
if it’s contacting your vehicle, and don’t
spin your wheels.
NOTICE: (Continued) NOTICE:
(Continued)
If you do find a traction device that will fit, install
them on the rear tires.
If you have other size tires, use tire chains only
where legal and
only when you must. Use only
SAE Class “S”’type chains that are the proper
size for your tires. Install them
on the drive axle
tires (four-wheel-drive vehicles can use chains on
both axles) and tighten them
as tightly as possible
with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and
follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions..
If
you can .hear the chains contacting your vehicle,
, stop and retighten them. If the contact continues,
slow down until it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage
your vehicle.
