INTRODUCTION
Lubrication and maintenance is divided into re
quired and recommended service tasks. The required service tasks must be completed to verify the emis
sion controls function correctly. The recommended
service tasks should be completed to maintain safety
and durability. This information will assist the service personnel
in providing maximum protection for each owner's
vehicle. Conditions can vary with individual driving habits.
It is necessary to schedule maintenance as a time in
terval as well as a distance interval. It is the owner's responsibility to determine the ap
plicable driving condition. Also to have the vehicle serviced according to the maintenance schedule, and
to pay for the necessary parts and labor. Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of 3 855 kg (8,500 lbs.) or less must conform
to light duty emission standards. Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 3 856 kg
(8,501 lbs.) or more must conform to heavy duty
emission standards. The GVWR for each vehicle is listed on the Safety
Certification Label. This label is affixed to the driver
side door pillar (Fig. 1).
Additional maintenance and lubrication informa
tion is listed in the Owner's Manual.

SEVERE DRIVING
CONDITIONS
Vehicles subjected to severe driving conditions
should decrease the interval between component
maintenance. Severe driving conditions are defined
as:

• Frequent short trip driving less than 24 km (15
miles)
• Frequent driving in dusty conditions
• Trailer towing
• Extensive engine idling
• Sustained high speed operation
• Desert operation
• Frequent starting and stopping
• Cold climate operation

LUBRICATION
AND
MAINTENANCE

• Commercial service
When a vehicle is continuously subjected to severe
driving conditions, lubricate:
• Body components
• All the driveline coupling joints
• Steering linkage More often than normal driving conditions

DUSTY
AREAS
With this type of severe driving condition, special
care should be given to the:
• Engine air cleaner filter
• PCV filter
• Crankcase ventilation system
• Brake booster control valve air filter. Verify that the filters and the associated compo
nents are clean. Also verify that they are functioning
effectively. This will minimize the amount of abra sive particles that enter the engine.

OFF-ROAD
(4WD)
OPERATION
After off-road (4WD) operation, inspect the under
side of the vehicle. Inspect the:
• Tires
• Body structure
• Steering components
• Suspension components • Exhaust system
• Threaded fasteners

HARSH
SURFACE ENVIRONMENTS
After extended operation in harsh environments,
the brake drums, brake linings, and rear wheel bear ings should be inspected and cleaned. This will pre
vent wear and erratic brake action.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The following routine maintenance is recommended
on a monthly basis: TIRES—Inspect the tires for unusual wear/damage.
Determine if the inflation pressure is adequate for
the vehicle load. BATTERY—Inspect and clean the terminals.
Tighten the terminals if necessary. FLUIDS—Determine if the component fluid levels
are acceptable. Add fluid, if necessary. LIGHTS/ELECTRICAL—Test all the electrical sys
tems in the vehicle for proper operation. It is also recommended that the engine oil and the
washer fluid level be determined at each fuel fill-up.

VEHICLE
NOISE CONTROL
Vehicles with a GVWR of 4 535 kg (10,000 lbs), or
more, are required to comply with Federal Exterior Noise Regulations (Fig. 2).

UNAUTHORIZED
DEFEAT
OF
NOISE
CONTROL COMPONENTS
Federal law prohibits removal, altering or other
wise defeating any noise control component. This in
cludes before or after the vehicle is in use. Federal
law also prohibits the use of a vehicle after a noise
control component is defeated.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
FOR
NOISE
CONTROL

The following maintenance is required after each
6-month or 9 600 km (6,000 miles) interval. This will
ensure that the vehicle noise control components are
operating properly.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
Inspect exhaust system for exhaust leaks and dam
aged components. The exhaust hangers, clamps and
U-bolts should be attached and in good condition.
Burned or ruptured mufflers, damaged exhaust pipes should be replaced. Refer to Group 11—Exhaust Sys
tem/Intake Manifold for service information.

AIR
FILTER
HOUSING/CANISTER
Inspect the air filter assembly for proper fit. Verify
the cover is securely attached to the housing/canis
ter. Inspect all the air filter housing hoses for con nections. The gasket between the air filter housing and throttle body must be in good condition. The air
filter element should be clean and serviced according
to the maintenance schedule.

FUEL
REQUIREMENTS
GASOLINE
ENGINES
All engines require the use of unleaded gasoline to
reduce the effects of lead to the environment. Also unleaded fuel is necessary to prevent damage to the
catalytic converter/02 sensor. The fuel must have a
minimum octane rating of 87 based on the (R + M)/2
calculation method.

CLASSIFICATION
OF
LUBRICANTS
Lubricating fluids
and
chassis lubricants
are
clas
sified according
to
standards recommended
by the:
• Society
of
Automotive Engineers
(SAE)

• American Petroleum Institute
(API)

• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
ENGINE
OIL

SAE
VISCOSITY
GRADE
An
SAE
viscosity grade
is
used
to
specify
the
vis
cosity
of
engine
oil. SAE 30
specifies
a
single viscos
ity engine
oil.

Engine oils also have multiple viscosities. These
are specified with
a
dual
SAE
viscosity grade which
indicates
the
cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range (Fig.
3).

API
SERVICE
GRADE
The
API
Service Grade specifies
the
type
of
perfor
mance
the
engine
oil is
intended
to
provide.
The API
Service Grade specifications also apply
to
energy con
serving engine oils
(Fig. 3).

For maximum gasoline engine protection,
use API

Service Grade
SG,
SG/CD
or
SG/CE engine
oil.

For maximum Diesel engine protection,
use

API Service
CE or
SG/CE engine
oil.

GEAR LUBRICANTS A dual grade
is
also used
to
specify
the
viscosity
of

multi-purpose gear lubricants.
The
API
grade designation identifies gear lubri
cants
in
terms
of
recommended usage.
