For engine oil crankcase capacity, seeCapacities
and Specications on page 513.
Notice:Do not add too much oil. If the engine
has so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area (F) that shows the proper
operating range for the L6 engine or above
the cross-hatched area for the V8 engine,
the engine could be damaged.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 396
for the location of the engine oil ll cap.Be sure to add enough oil to put the level
somewhere in the proper operating range.
Push the dipstick all the way back in when you
are through.
SS Model Only
Remove the engine cover for access to the
engine oil ll cap as follows:
1. Undo the screw in the middle of the cover.
2. Pop the cover off of the stud on the
driver side.
3. Angle the cover up and pull it off of the
bracket.
4. Reverse above steps to reinstall the cover.

Brake Wear
Your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that
make a high-pitched warning sound when the
brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound can come and go or be heard all
the time your vehicle is moving, except when you
are pushing on the brake pedal rmly.
{CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound means that
soon the brakes will not work well. That
could lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have your
vehicle serviced.
Notice:Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly brake repair.Some driving conditions or climates can cause a
brake squeal when the brakes are rst applied
or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with the brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help
prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated,
inspect brake pads for wear and evenly tighten
wheel nuts in the proper sequence to torque
specications inCapacities and Specications
on page 513.
Brake linings should always be replaced as
complete axle sets.Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer/retailer if the brake pedal does
not return to normal height, or if there is a rapid
increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign that
brake service might be required.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, the disc
brakes adjust for wear.
430

When rotating your tires, always use the correct
rotation pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear ination pressures as shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. SeeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 356, for an example of
the label and its location on your vehicle.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors will need to be reset after a tire rotation.
See “TPMS Sensor Identication Codes” under
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 459.Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and Specications on page 513.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When
you change a wheel, remove any rust or
dirt from places where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use a cloth or a paper towel to do this;
but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust or dirt
off. SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 474.
465

{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to come loose and even come off.
This could lead to an accident. Be sure to
use the correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure to get new original
equipment wheel nuts. Stop somewhere
as soon as you can and have the nuts
tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque specication. SeeCapacities
and Specifications on page 513for wheel
nut torque specication.Notice:Improperly tightened wheel nuts can
lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage.
To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly
tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence
and to the proper torque specication.
SeeCapacities and Specifications on page 513
for the wheel nut torque specication.
13. Use the wrench to
tighten the wheel
nuts rmly in a
crisscross sequence
as shown.
