This part tells you the maintenance services that you should h\
ave done and
the times you should schedule them. Your GM dealer knows your vehicle best

needs, you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service peop\
le will perform
the work using genuine GM parts.

selecting The Proper Maintenance Services
To find the proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle, you must\
know two
things. What engine your vehicle has, and how you use your ve\
hicle. Your
engine type will tell you which chart to use, and your drivin\
g conditions will
tell you which schedule to use. The charts are found later in\
this section.
Selecting the Proper Maintenance Chart
Your engine type (Gasoline or Diesel) and its emissions classificat\
ion (Light
Duty 3r Heavy Duty Emissions) will tell you which maintenance \
chart
to use.
Find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and look at th\
e eighth character
to see what your engine code is. Then use the following Engine E\
missions
Classifications table
to find your emissions classification.
Your VIN is on the plate on the top left corner of your instrument panel,
the Certification Label and on the Service Parts Identification \
Label. See “Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index.
If your engine has more than one emissions classification, look at\
your
Certification Label to see what your Gross Vehicle Weight Ratin\
g
(GVWR)
is. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
