Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause
the wheel to become loose and even come
off. This could lead to
an accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure
to get the right kind.
Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have the nuts tightened
with
a torque wrench to 95 ft. Ibs. (1 30 N.m ).

Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle, with the valve stem
pointed down and to the rear.

Return the jack, wheel wrench and wheel blocks to the proper \
location behind
the seat. Secure the items and replace the jack cover.
Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all these\
in
I the proper place.
Compact Spare (If So Equipped)
Although your compact spare was fully inflated when the vehicle\
was new,
it can lose air over time. Check its inflation pressure regularly.\
It should be
60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000 miles
(5000 km), so you can finish your trip and get a new tire where you want.
Of course, it's best to replace your spare with
a full-size tire as soon as you
can. Your spare will last longer and be in good shape in case you ever need
it again.

Oils with these words on the container will help you save fuel.
This doughnut-shaped logo (symbol) is used
on most oil containers to help
you select the correct oil.
You should look for this on the oil container, and use
only those oils that
display the logo.
GM Goodwrench@ oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the requirements
for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives:
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your GM dealer is ready to advise if you think
something should be added.
When to Change Engine c)k
See if any one of these is true for you:
Most trips are less than 4 miles (6 km).
It’s below freezing outside and most trips are less than 10 miles
(16 km).
The engine is at low speed most of the time (as in door-to-door delivery,
You tow a trailer often.
or in stop-and-go traffic).
Most trips are through dusty places.
The vehicle is frequently operated off-road.
If any one of these is true for your vehicle, you need to chang\
e your oil and
filter every 3,000 miles (5000 km) or 3 months-whichever comes first.
If none of them are true, change the oil every 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or
12 months-whichever comes first. Change the filter at the first oil change
and at every other oil change after that.
If your vehicle has 4-wheel drive, you ,will have a remote oil filter located
under the hood.
It is mounted to the front left inner fender, behind the
headlights.
Engine Block Heater:
An engine block heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
-0°F (-18°C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option, see
“Engine Block Heater” in the Index.

What to Do with Used Oil:
I A Used engine oil contains things that have caused skin cancer in
- laboratory animals. 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
I used engine oil. I
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 disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station
or a local recycling center for help.
