service reset OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE 1998 Owners Manual

If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on after
you
start the engine, have the oil changed. The light may
indicate to change the oil sooner than suggested in your
maintenance schedule, depending on your driving patterns.
This light will come on when the system predicts that the
oil’s remaining useful life is almost up. It alerts you to
change the oil on a schedule consistent with your vehicle’s \
driving conditions. Therefore,
you should change your oil
at the intervals recommended in your maintenance
schedule or when the CHANGE
OIL light comes on,
whichever comes first. See “Engine Oil, When to Change”
and “Maintenance Schedule,” in the Index.
To reset the CHANGE
OIL light, see “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
Fuel Gr 2
0
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
you
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears EMPTY
(E), you still
have a little fuel left,
but
you should get more soon.
Here are some things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and do not show
a problem with
your fuel gage:
At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage
indicated.
For example, the gage may have indicated
the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more
or less than half
the tank’s capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn the corner or
speed
up.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly
or may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLN to indicate
that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without
resetting the tape clean timer. If this message appears on
the display, your cassette tape player needs to be
cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as
soon as possible to prevent damage to your tapes and
player. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a
known good cassette to
see if it is the tape or the tape
player at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement
in sound quality, clean the tape player.
The recommended cleaning method for your cassette
tape player is the use of a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
The recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your retail facility
(GM Part No. 12344789).
When using a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, it is normal for the cassette to eject because
your unit is equipped with
a cut tape detection feature
and a cleaning cassette may appear as a broken tape.
If
the cleaning cassette ejects, insert the cassette at least
three times to ensure thorough cleaning.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject on
its own. A non-scrubbing action cleaner may
not clean as thoroughly
as the scrubbing type cleaner.
The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette
is not recommended.
After you clean the player, press and hold EJECT for
five seconds
to reset the CLN indicator. The radio will
display
--- to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes
are subject to wear and the sound quality
may degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette
tape is in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.

How to Reset the CHANGE OIL Light
After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset
1.
2.
3.
With the ignition key in ON but the engine off, fully
push and release the accelerator pedal slowly three
times within five seconds.
If the CHANGE OIL light flashes, the system
is resetting.
Turn the key to OFF, then start the vehicle. If the
CHANGE OIL light comes back on, the engine oil
life monitor has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? 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. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
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 putting
it in the trash, 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 retailer,
a service station or a local recycling
center for help.

I Maintenance Schedule I
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
(I 66 000 km) should be performed after 100,000 miles
(1
66 000 km) at the same intervals. The services shown
at
150,000 miles (240 000 km) should be performed at
the same interval after
150,000 miles (240 000 km).
See “Owner Checks and Services” and “Periodic
Maintenance Inspections” following.
Footnotes
? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board 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 the vehicle‘s useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services
be performed at the indicated intervals and the
maintenance be recorded.
* Your vehicle has an Engine Oil Life Monitor. This
monitor will show
you when to change the engine oil
and filter
-- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
and
7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on
before
3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle
more than
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months
without an oil and filter change.
The system won’t detect dust in the oil.
So if you
drive
in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil and
filter every
3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the
CHANGE
OIL light comes on. Remember to reset the
Oil Life Monitor when the oil has been changed.
For
more information, see “Engine Oil” in the Index.
+ A good time to check your brakes is during tire
rotation. See “Brake System Inspection’’ unde.r “Periodic
Maintenance Inspections” in Part C
of this schedule.
