Services - Severe
(1) Or every two years, whichever
comes first. More frequent
passenger compartment air filter
replacement may be needed if
driving in areas with heavy traffic,
poor air quality, high dust levels,
or environmental allergens.
Passenger compartment air filter
replacement may also be needed if
there is reduced airflow, window
fogging, or odors. Your GM dealer
can help determine when to replace
the filter.
(2) Visually check all fuel and vapor
lines and hoses for proper
attachment, connection, routing, and
condition.
(3) Or every four years, whichever
comes first. If driving in dusty
conditions, inspect the filter at each
oil change or more often as needed.
See Engine Air Cleaner/Filter 0235.
(4) Or every five years, whichever
comes first. See Cooling System
0 237. (5)
Or every 10 years, whichever
comes first. Inspect for fraying,
excessive cracking, or damage;
replace, if needed.
(6) Do not directly power wash the
rear axle output seals. High
pressure water can overcome the
seals and contaminate the axle
fluid. Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the axle and
may drive the need for repair or
replacement.
(7) If equipped with an automatic
transmission, replace brake fluid
every five years. If equipped with a
manual transmission, replace brake/
clutch fluid every three years. See
Brake Fluid 0244.
(8) Or every 12 months, whichever
comes first. See Wiper Blade
Replacement 0248.
(9) Or every 10 years, whichever
comes first. See Gas Strut(s)0249.
(10) Replace air conditioning
desiccant every seven years.Special Application
