Scheduled Maintenance Services
KEEP ENGINE OIL
AT THE PROPER
LEVEL AND CHANGE
AS RECOMMENDED
Section
This section covers the maintenance required for your vehicle. Your vehicle
needs these services to retain its safety, dependability and emission control
performance.

Introduction
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good
working condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended
maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the
removal
of important components can significantly affect the quality of the
air we breathe. Improper
fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can
increase the level of emissions from your vehicle.
To help protect our
environment, and
to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please
maintain your vehicle properly.

Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services
Using Your Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working
condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive
very short distances only
a few times a week. Or you may drive long
distances all the time
in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle
in making deliveries. Or you may drive it to work, to do errands or in many
other ways.
Because
of all the different ways people use their GM vehicles, maintenance
needs varv.
You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than
you‘ll find
in the schedules in this section. So please read this section and
note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle
in good condition. see your GM dealer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should have done and
when
you should schedule them. If you go to your dealer for your service needs,
you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service people
will perform the
work using genuine
GM parts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in Part D. Make sure
whoever services your vehicle uses these.
All parts should be replaced and
all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s CertificatiodTire label. See “Loading
Your Vehicle“
in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfxes within legal driving limits.
are driven off-road in the recommended manner. See “Off Road
Driving With Your Four-wheel Drive Vehicle”
in the Index.
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel” in the index.
Selecting the Right Schedule
The proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle depends on which engine
you have
in your vehicle and how you use your vehicle.
Gasoline engine vehicles and diesel engine vehicles have different
maintenance requirements.
If you have a diesel engine, follow a schedule
designated for diesel engine vehicles only. If you have
a gasoline engine.
you must first determine whether your engine has
a light duty or a heavy
duty emissions classification. Follow a maintenance schedule designated
for
for your engine. See “Engine Identification” in the Index to find your
engine‘s emission classification.
c easoline engines with the emissions classification (light duty or heavy duty)
7-3
ProCarManuals.com

If your engine has more than one emissions classification, the classification
is determined by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your vehicle
as shown on the Certification Label. See “Loading Your Vehicle”
in the
Index.
Once you’ve determined your engine type and,
if necessary, emissions
classification, you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is right for
your vehicle. See Definitions for Maintenance Schedule
