When to Change Engine Oil
See if any one of these is true for you:
Most trips are less than 4 miles
(6
lun).
It’s below freezing outside and most
trips are less than 10 miles (16
km).
The engine is at low speed most of the
time (as in door-to-door delivery, or in
stop-and-go traffic).
You tow a trailer often.
Most trips are through dusty places.
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 comes first. If
none of them is true, change the oil
every
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12
months-whichever comes first.
Change the filter at the first oil change
and at every other oil change after that.
Engine Block Heater
An engine block heater can be a big
help
if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or colder. If
your vehicle has this option, see the
Index under Engine Block Heater.
What to Do with Used Oil
CAUTION
Used engine oil contains
things that have caused skin
cancer in laboratory animals. Don’t
let used oil stay on your skin for
very long. Clean your skin and nails
with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly
throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine
oil.
Used oil can be a real threat to the
environment. If you change your
own
oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal.
Don’t ever dispose
of oil by pouring it
on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing
of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or a local
recycling center for help.

Engine Oil and Filter Change*-Always use SG
Energy Conserving I1 oils of proper viscosity. The
“SG” designation may be shown alone or in
combination with others, such as “SG/CC,”
“SG/CD” or “SF, SG, CC,” etc. To determine the
preferred viscosity for your vehicle’s engine
(e.g.,
SAE 5W-30 or SAE 1OW-30) see the Index under
Engine Oil.
Chassis Lubrication-Lubricate the transaxle shift
linkage, parking brake cable guides, underbody contact points and linkage. Lubricate the front and
rear suspension.
ITEM

3 Throttle Body Mounting Bolt Torque (3.1L
Code T or W engine only)*-Check the torque of
the mounting bolts and/or nuts.
4 Tire and Wheel Rotation and Inspection-For
proper wear and maximum tire life, rotate your
tires following the instructions in this manual. See
the
Index under Tires, Inspection G Rotation.
Check the tires for uneven wear or damage. If you
see irregular or premature wear, check the wheel
alignment. Check for damaged wheels also.
NOTE: To determine your engine’s displacement and code, see the Index under Engine Identification.
* An Emission Control Service.
* The US. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the failure \
to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission
warranty
or limit recall liability prior to the completion of vehicle useful life. General Motors, however, urges that all recommended
maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals and\
the maintenance be recorded in Section
E: Maintenance Record.
5 Engine Accessory Drive Belt Inspection

Replace parts as needed.
Cooling System Service*-Drain, flush and refill
the system with new or approved recycled coolant
conforming to
GM Specification 1825M. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture as specified. See the
Index under Coolant. This provides proper freeze
protection, corrosion inhibitor level and engine
operating temperature.

Inspect hoses and replace if they are cracked,
swollen or deteriorated. Tighten screw-type hose
clamps. Clean the outside of the radiator and air
conditioning condenser. Wash the pressure cap
and neck.
To help ensure proper operation, we recommend a
pressure test of both the cooling system and the
pressure cap.
Transaxle Service-For manual transaxles, fluid
doesn’t require changing.
For automatic transaxles, change both the fluid
and filter every 15,000 miles (25
000 km) if the
vehicle is mainly driven under one or more
of
these conditions:
