(1) Or every two years, whichever
comes first. More frequent
replacement may be needed if the
vehicle is driven in areas with heavy
traffic, poor air quality, areas with
high dust levels or are sensitive to
environmental allergens. Filter
replacement may also be needed if
you notice reduced airflow, windows
fogging up, or odors. Your local GM
Service location can help you
determine when it is the right time to
replace your filter.
(2) Or every four years, whichever
comes first. If driving in dusty
conditions, inspect the filter at each
oil change or more often as needed.
(3) Check all fuel and vapor lines
and hoses for proper hook-up,
routing, and condition.
(4) Do not directly power wash the
transfer case and/or front/rear axle
output seals. High pressure water
can overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid. Contaminated fluid will decrease the life of the
transfer case and/or drive axles and
should be replaced.
(5)
Or every five years, whichever
comes first. See Cooling
System 0378.
(6) Or every 10 years, whichever
comes first. Inspect for fraying,
excessive cracking, or damage;
replace, if needed.

years. See Brake Fluid 0387.
(8) Replace clutch fluid every three
years. See Hydraulic Clutch 0376.
