When you go to your GM Goodwrench
®
dealer for
your service needs, you will know that GM-trained
and supported service technicians will perform
the work using genuine GM parts.
If you want to purchase service information, see
Service Publications Ordering Information on
page 556
.
Owner Checks and Services on page 526 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 530 and Normal Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 532 . 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 424 for information on the Engine Oil Life
System and resetting the system.
