The oil light could also flash on in three
other situations:
. When the ignition is on (in the Run
position) but the engine is not
running, the light will come on as a
test to show you it is working, but the
light will
go out when you turn the
ignition to
Start. If it doesn't come on
with the ignition on, you may have a
problem with the fuse. Have it fixed
right away.
Sometimes when the engine is idling
at a stop, the light may flash on and
off. This is normal.
If you make a hard stop, the light may
come on for a moment. This is normal.
0-
A \
Voltmeter (ELEcmoNIc CLUSTER)
Your charging system gage will show
the rate of charge when the engine is
running. When the engine
is not
running but the ignition is on (in the
Run position), the display measures the
voltage output
of your battery, and will
flash until you turn the ignition to
Start.
The reading will change as the rate of
charge changes (with engine speed,
etc.), but readings between the warning
zones indicate the normal operating
range. Readings in either warning zone
indicate a possible problem with your
charging system. Have your Oldsmobile
serviced immediately. You
also have a warning light.
A box
around the battery symbol will flash
when the charging system needs
service.
If it comes on while you are driving, you
may have a loose belt or other problem
with the electrical charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving
while this light is on could drain your
battery.
If
you must drive a short distance with
the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and
air conditioner.

radio functions.
PWR (Power): Press to turn the unit
on and off when the ignition is on.
VOL-BAL (Volume-Balance): Turn
the upper knob to adjust the volume, or

without reducing the high frequencies
you need for the best sound. You don’t
have to

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM Stereo will give you the best sound,
but FM signals will reach only about
10
to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at night.
The longer range, however, can cause
stations to interfere with each other.
AM can also pick up noise from things
like storms and power lines. To lower
this noise, try reducing the treble level.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
receive C-QuamB stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country
use C-Quam@ to produce stereo,
though some do not. C-Quam@
is a
registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.
If your Delco@ system can get C-
Quam@ signals, your stereo indicator
light will come
on when you are
receiving it.

What Kind of Oil to Use
Beginning midyear 1993, oils of the
proper quality for your vehicle will be
identified with this new “starburst”
symbol. The “starburst” symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified
by the American Petroleum Institute
(API), and is preferred for use in your
gasoline engine.
You should look for this on the front of
the oil container, and use only oils that
display this new symbol.
You should also use the proper viscositJ
oil for your vehicle, as shown in the
following chart:

SAE 5W-30 PREFERRED
IF NEITHER SAE 5W-30 NOR SAE 1OW-30 GRADE OILS ARE AVAILABLE, SAE 30 GRADE MAY BE USED AT TEMPERATURES WEATHER ABOVE 40 DEGREES F (4 DEGREES c).
DO NOT USE SAE 1OW-40, SAE 2OW-50 OR ANY OTHER GRADE OIL NOT RECOMMENDED.

lest for your vehicle. However, you can
Ise
SAE 1OW-30 if it’s going to be 0°F
:-lS.C)
or above. These numbers on an
)il container show its viscosity, or thickness.
Do not
use other viscosity oils,
such as SAE
IOW-40 or SAE 20W-50.
If you cannot find oils with the new
“starburst” symbol on the front of the
container, you should look for and use
oils containing the following three things:
SH or SG
“SH”
or “SG” must be on the oil
container, either by itself or combined
with other quality designations, such as “SH/CD,” “SH,SG,CD,” “SG/CD,” etc.
These letters show American Petroleum Institute (API) levels of quality.
SAE 5W-30
Energy Conserving I1
Oils with these words on the
container will help you save fuel.
These three things are usually included
in a doughnut shaped logo (symbol) on
most containers.
If you cannot find oils
with the “starburst” symbol, you should
look for oils with the doughnut shaped
symbol, containing the three things
noted above.
