See  your  Chevrolet  dealer for ad
vice  on the  frequency  of oil  and 
filter  changes  under unusual  driv
ing  conditions. 
The  above  recommendations  ap
ply  to the  first  change 
as well as 
subsequent  oil changes.  The oil 
change  interval  for your  Camaro 
engine 
is based  on the  use  of SE  oils 
and  quality  oil filters. 
Oil change  in
tervals  longer than those  listed 
above  will seriously  reduce engine 
life  and  may  affect  Chevrolet  obli
gation  under the provisions  of the

stalled  in your  engine  at the  fac
tory.  It 
is not necessary  to change 
this  factory-installed  oil prior  to the 
recommended  normal change pe
riod. However,  check the oil level 
more  frequently  during the break
in  period  since higher  oil consump- tion 
is normal 
until the piston  rings 
become  seated. 
NOTE:  Non-detergent  and other 
low  quality  oils are specifically

of 
SE engine  oils and  proper  oil 
and  filter  change  intervals  assure 
you  of continued  proper lubrica
tion  of your  Camaro  engine.
