Service Publications Ordering Information
on page 475 .
Owner Checks and Services on page 444 tells
you what should be checked, when to check it,
and what you can easily do to help keep your
vehicle in good condition.
The proper replacement parts, fluids, and
lubricants to use are listed in
Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 448 and Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 449 .
When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these
are used. All parts should be replaced and all
necessary repairs done before you or anyone
else drives the vehicle. We recommend the use
of genuine GM parts.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the change engine oil light and/or
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes
on, it means that service is required for your
vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km).
It is possible that, if you are driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system may not
indicate that vehicle service is necessary for over
a year. However, the engine oil and filter must
be changed at least once a year and at this time
the system must be reset. Your GM Goodwrench
®
dealer has GM-trained service technicians who
will perform this work using genuine GM parts and
reset the system.
