Service Publications
Information on how to obtain Product
Service Publications, Subscriptions and
Indexes as described below is applicable
only in the fifty
U.S. states (and the
District of Columbia) and only for cars
and light trucks with GVWR less than
10,000 pounds (4 536 kg).
In Canada, information pertaining to
Product Service Bulletins and Indexes
can be obtained by writing to:
General Motors of Canada Limited
Service Publications Department
1908 Colonel Sam Drive
Oshawa, Ontario
L1H 8P7
Oldsmobile regularly sends its dealers
useful service bulletins about
Oldsmobile products. Oldsmobile
monitors product performance in the
field. We then prepare bulletins for
servicing
our products better. Now, you
can get these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care of
your vehicle. Some describe costly repairs. Others describe inexpensive
repairs which, if done
on time with the
latest parts, may avoid future costly
repairs. Some bulletins tell a technician
how to repair a new or unexpected
condition. Others describe a quicker
way to fix your vehicle. They can help a
technician service your vehicle better. Most
bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number of cars or
trucks. Your Oldsmobile dealer or a
qualified technician may have to
determine
if a specific bulletin applies
to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to
all Oldsmobile
bulletins. This way you'll get them as
they come out. You can wait a while
and get an index to the bulletins. You
can also get individual bulletins.
However, you'll need the index to
identify them.
