Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 section. Make sure
whoever services your vehicle
uses these. All parts should be replaced and
all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE* - ALWAYS USE
API SERVICE SH OR SG ENERGY CONSERVING I1 OILS OF THE
PROPER VISCOSITY. The “SH” or “SG” designation may be shown
alone or in combination with others, such as “SHKD”, or
“SH, SG,
CD,” or “SG/CD”, etc.
To determine the preferred viscosity oil for your
vehicle’s engine (e.g. SAE
5W-30), see “Engine Oil” in the Index.
CHASSIS LUBRICATION - Lubricate the front suspension, ball
joint, steering linkage, and transfer case shift linkage, parking brake
cable guides, propshaft splines, universal joints, brake pedal springs,
and clutch pedal springs at the intervals specified on the proper
maintenance schedule, or at every engine oil change, whichever comes
first.
Ball joints should
not be lubricated unless their temperature is 10°F
(-12°C) or higher. When the weather is cold, let them warm up before
lubricating them
or they could be damaged.
Also, be sure to check all the vehicle fluid levels at this time.
COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE* - Drain, flush and refill the
system with new or approved recycled coolant conforming to “GM
Specification
603%”’. See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for the
proper coolant and mixture to use in your vehicle.
Also inspect
the hoses and replace them if they are cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated. Clean the outside of the radiator and air conditioning
condenser. Wash the radiator neck. To ensure proper operation,
pressure test the radiator and cap.
AIR CLEANER FILTER REPLACEMENT” - Replace at
specified intervals. Ask your dealer for the proper replacement
intervals for your driving conditions.
FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPACK (2-WHEEL DRIVE
ONLY) - Clean and repack the front wheel bearings at each brake
relining,
or at the specified interval, whichever comes first.
*An Emission Control Service

proper wear and maximum tire life, rotate tires at the first
6,000 miles
(10
000 kilometers) for Schedule I or 7,500 miles (12 500 kilometers)
for Schedule I1 and then every 15,000 miles
(25 000 kilometers)
thereafter. Follow the instructions and patterns shown in Section
6.
Check tires for uneven wear or damage. If irregular or premature wear
is apparent, check wheel alignment. Also, check for damaged wheels.
See “Tires” in the Index for more information.
14.
DRIVE AXLE SERVICE - Check readfront axle fluid level and add
as needed. Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Locking Differential - Drain fluid at first oil change and refill.
Check fluid
level and add as needed at subsequent oil changes. In
dusty areas or trailer towing applications, drain fluid at every
15,000 miles (24 135 kilometers) and refill.?
Standard Differential - Check fluid level and add as needed at
every oil change. In dusty areas or trailer towing applications,
drain fluid every
15,000 miles (24 135 kilometers) and refill.?
More frequent lubrication may be required for off-road use.
15. BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION - When the engine oil is changed,
inspect the lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Check the parking brake adjustment, and the fluid level in
the master cylinder. A low fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads
which may need
to be serviced.?
When the wheels are removed for rotation, inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, parking brake, etc. at the same time.
Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions resul\
t in
frequent braking.
.L t A fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.

they are low, inflate them to the level specified on the Certification label.
See “Inflation-Tire Pressure” in the Index.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinder Lubrication - Lubricate key lock cylinders with one
of the lubricants recommended
in this section.
Transmission Neutral or Clutch Start Switch Operation -
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the manual parking brake, and the regular brake. See
“Brakes” and “Parking Brake” in the Index.
Do not use the accelerator
pedal.
3. Be ready to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
4. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the engine in each gear.

only in “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever in “N’ (Neutral),
push the clutch down halfway, and try to start the engine. The starter
should work only when the clutch is pushed down
all the way to the
floor.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Steering Column Lock Operation - While parked, try to turn the key to
LOCK in each gear shift position.
0 With an automatic transmission, the key should turn to LOCK only
0 With manual shift, the key should turn to LOCK only when you’re in
On vehicles with a key release lever, try to turn the key to
LOCK without
pressing the lever.
The key should turn to LOCK only with the key lever
depressed.
On all vehicles, the key should come out
only in LOCK.
Parking Brake and Transmission
“P’ (Park) Mechanism Operation -
when the gear shift is in “P’ (Park).
“R” (Reverse).
Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing downhill. :eping your
foot on the regular brake, set the manual parking brake.
0 To check the parking brake: With the engine running and the
transmission in
“N’ (Neutral), slowly remove foot pressure from the
regular brake pedal.
Do this until the vehicle is held by the parking
brake only.
To check the “P” (Park) mechanism’s holding ability: Apply the regular
brake and shift to
“P” (Park). Release the manual parking brake, then
slowly release the regular brake.
Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and Operation - Inspect belt system,
including: webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, guide loops and
anchors. Have a belt assembly replaced if the webbing has been cut or
otherwise damaged.
Body Lubrication Service - Lubricate all body door hinges including the
endgate, endgate handle pivot points, and endgate mounted spare tire carrier
(if equipped), lubricate the body hood,
fuel door and rear compartment
hinges, latches and locks including interior glove box and console doors,
and any moving seat hardware. Lubricate the hood safety lever pivot and
prop rod pivot. More frequent lubrication may be required when exposed
to
a corrosive environment.
