every 15,000 miles
(25 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under
one or more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic.
Where the outside temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32” C) or
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
Frequent trailer pulling.
0 Uses such as taxi, police, delivery or other commercial service.
If the vehicle is not used mainly under any of these conditions, change
the fluid and filter
every 30,000 miles (50 000 km). See “Automatic

changing.
FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT* $- Replace the fuel filter at the
specified interval or sooner
if clogged.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT* - Replace spark plugs with the
type listed in Section 6. See “Specification Charts” in the Index.
SPARK PLUG WIRE INSPECTION* - Clean wires and inspect
for burns, cracks or other damage. Check the wire boot fit
at the
distributor and at the spark plugs. Replace wires as needed.
ENGINE TIMING CHECK AND DISTRIBUTOR CHECK*$ -
Adjust timing to underhood label specifications. Inspect the inside and
outside of the distributor cap and rotor for cracks, carbon tracking and
corrosion. Clean or replace as needed.
FUEL TANK, CAP AND LINES INSPECTION*$ - Inspect the

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.
