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.

To remove the round air cleaner filter for the 2.5L (VIN A), 2.8L (VIN R), and
4.3L (VIN

and change the filter. Care should be taken during reassembly to ensure that
the cover is on straight and the wingnut properly tightened.
To remove the square air cleaner filter for the 4.3L (VIN W) high performance
engine, loosen both wingnuts (one on the duct and one on the\
cover).

Explanation Of Scheduled Maintenance Services
Below are explanations of the services listed in the maintenance charts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in this se\
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
.0066
Ib. (.003 kg) is required to lubricate the ball stud surface\
. Do not add
lubricant more often than the intervals recommended in the Main\
tenance
Schedules. Too much lubricant
will damage the clutch assembly.
4. COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE* -Drain, flush and refill the system wit\
h
new coolant. See “Engine Coolant’’ in the Index for th\
e proper coolant
and mixture to use in your vehicle.
Also inspect the hoses and replace them
if they are cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated. Tighten all hose clamps. Clean the outside of the radiator
and air conditioning condenser. Wash the radiator neck. To ensure proper
operation, pressure test the radiator and cap.
