0°F (-18°C) or above. If you have the 3300 V6
engine, the preferred viscosity for your vehicle’s
engine is
SAE 1OW-30. However, you can use SAE
5W-30 if it’s going to be 60°F (16°C) or below. these. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs

mounting bolts and/or nuts.
Tire and Wheel Rotation and Inspection-For
proper wear and maximum tire life, rotate your
tires following the instructions in this manual. See
the

3. With the engine off, turn the key to the Run position, but don’t start the engine. Without
applying the regular brake, try to move the shift lever out of
P (Park) with normal effort. If
the shift lever moves out of P (Park), your vehicle’s BTSI needs service.
While parked and with the parking brake set, try to turn the key to Lock in each shift lever I

Section C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be perfo\

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.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE I
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for \
damaged, loose or missing parts,
signs
of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then in\
spect the drive axle boot seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust 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 build-up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes
into the vehicle. See the
Idex under EnRine Exhaust.
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed.
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for \
proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rot\
ors for surface condition. Also
inspect drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums,
wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. The parking brake is self-adjusting and no manual
adjustment is required,
You may need to have your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
NOTE:
A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which \
may need to be
serviced. Also, if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system. See the
Index under Brake System Warning Light. If your anti-lock brake
system warning light stays on, comes on or flashes, something may be wrong with the anti-lock
brake system. See the
Index under Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light.
