Pontiac 2006 Pursuit, Owner'S Manual

Page: 332 / 372

The proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to
use are listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 6-11 and Normal Maintenance Replacement
Parts on page 6-13 . 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 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, your 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.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset accidentally,
you must service your vehicle within 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) since your last service. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See
Engine Oil Life System on page 5-16 for information on
the Engine Oil Life System and resetting the system.
When the CHANGE OIL SOON message appears,
certain services, checks, and inspections are required.
Required services are described in the following for
“Maintenance
I ” and “Maintenance II .” Generally, it is
recommended that your first service be Maintenance I ,
your second service be Maintenance II , and that you
alternate Maintenance
I
and Maintenance
II
thereafter.
However, in some cases, Maintenance
II
may be
required more often.
Maintenance I — Use Maintenance I if the CHANGE
OIL SOON message comes on within 10 months since
the vehicle was purchased or Maintenance
II was
performed.
Maintenance II — Use Maintenance II if the previous
service performed was Maintenance I . Always use
Maintenance II whenever the CHANGE OIL SOON
message comes on 10 months or more since the
last service or if the message has not come on at
all for one year.
