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.

intervals. Ask your dealer for the proper replacement intervals for your
driving conditions.
6. FRONT WHEEL BEARING REP1 -;< (2-WHEEL DRIVE ONLY) -Clean
and repack the front wheel bearings at each brake relining, or at the
specified interval, whichever comes first.
7. TRANSMISSION SERVICE:
Automatic Transmission -Change the transmission fluid and filter \
every 15,000 miles (25
000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic.
Where the outside temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
Frequent trailer pulling.
higher.
0 Uses such as taxi, police, delivery or other commercial service\
.
If the vehicle is not used mainly under any
of these conditions, change
the fluid and filter every 30,000 miles
(50 000 km). See “Automatic
Transmission Fluid” in the Index for more information.
Manual Transmission -Transmission fluid does not require periodic\

changing.
8. FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT* -Replace the fuel filter at the specified
9. SPARK PLUGS REPLACEMENT* -Replace spark plugs with the type
interval
or sooner
if clogged.
listed in Section
6. See “Specification Charts” in the Index.
10. SPARK PLUG WIRE INSPECTION* -Clean wires and inspect for b\
urns, cracks or other damage. Check the wire boot fit at the distributor and \
at
the spark plugs. Replace wires as needed.
11. ENGINE TIMING CHECK AND DISTRIBUTOR CHECK* -Adjust timing to underhood label specifications. Inspect the inside and outsid\
e of the
distributor cap and rotor for cracks, carbon tracking and corro\
sion. Clean or replace as needed.
12. FUEL TANK, CAP AND LINES INSPECTION* -Inspect the fuel tan\
k, cap and lines for damage or leaks. Remove fuel cap, inspect g\
asket for
an even filler neck imprint, and any damage. Replace parts as \
needed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be performed at least
twice a year (for instance, each spring and fall). You should let your GM
dealer’s service department or other qualified service center
do these jobs.
Make sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Steering and Suspension lnspectiont -Inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs \
of wear or
lack of lubrication. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for\
proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. (On vehicles equipped with manual
steering gear, check for seal leakage.) Lubricate the steering linkage.
Accelerator Control System -Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil,
except the
TBI throttle shaft. Do not lubricate the cam pulley. Remove all
external deposits from pulley. Do not oil any accelerator or cruise control
cables. Replace any cables that have high effort or excessive wear.
Exhaust System Inspection -Inspect the complete system. Inspect the body
near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing or
out-of-position parts, as well as open seams, holes, loose connections or
other conditions which could cause a heat buildup in the floor pan or could
let exhaust fumes seep into the passenger compartments. See “\
Engine Exhaust” in the Index..
Drive Axle Service -Check rear/front axle fluid level and add as needed.
Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (four-wheel drive) lnspectiont -Every
12 months or at oil
change intervals, check front axle and transfer case and add l\
ubricant when
necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and all exposed control linkage. \
Check vent
hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installation. More
frequent lubrication may be required on off-road use.
tA fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.
