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.

Explanation Of Scheduled Maintenance Services
Below are explanations of the services listed in the maintenance charts.

ction. Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be \
replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives th\
e vehicle.
1. ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE* -ALWAYS USE SG OR SG/CE QUALITY, ENERGY CONSERVING
II OILS OF THE PROPER
VISCOSITY. To determine the preferred viscosity oil for your vehicle’s
engine (e.g. SAE 5W-30). See “Engine Oil” in the Index.\
2. CHASSIS LUBRICATION -Lubricate the front suspension, ball joint,
steering linkage, clutch, and transfer case shift linkage, parki\
ng brake
cable guides, propshaft splines, universal joints, brake pedal s\
prings, and
clutch pedal springs at the intervals specified on the proper \
maintenance
schedule, or at every engine oil change, whichever comes first.\
On
vehicles without hydraulic clutches, lubricate the clutch cross \
shaft every
30,000 miles
(50 000 km).
Ball joints should not be lubricated unless their temperature i\
s 10°F
(-12°C) or higher. When the weather is cold, let them war\
m up before
lubricating them or they could be damaged.
Also, be sure to check all the vehicle fluid levels at this \
time.
3. CLUTCH FORK BALL STUD LUBRICATION (4.3L ENGINES ONLY)
-Lubricate the clutch fork ball stud through the fitting on th\
e clutch housing. Lubricant must be added “sparingly” to the fittin\
g, as only

Ib. (.003 kg) is required to lubricate the ball stud surface\
. Do not add
lubricant more often than the intervals recommended in the Main\
