Introduction: A Word about Maintenance
We at General Motors want to help you
keep your vehicle in good working
Condition,
But we don’t how exactly
how you’ll drive it.
You may drive very
short distances only a few times a week.
Or you may drive long distances all the
time in very hot, dusty
weather. You may
use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or
you may drive it to work, to do errands,
or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people
use their GM vehicles, maintenance needs
vary. You may even need more frequent
checks
and replacements than you will
find in the schedules in this part. So
please read this part and note how you
drive.
If you have any questions on how
to keep your vehicle in
good condition,
see your Ghevrolet dealer, the place
many GM owners choose to have their
maintenance
work done. Your dealer can
be relied upon to use proper parts and
practices.
Your Vehicle and the
Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only
keeps your vehicle in good working
condition,
but it also helps the
environment. All recommended
maintenance procedures are important.
hproper vehicle maintenance or
the
removal of important components can
significantly affect the quality of the air
we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even
the wrong tire inflation can increase the
level of emissions from your vehicle. To
help protect our environment, and to help
keep your vehicle
in good condition,
please maintain your vehicle properly.
How This Part is Organized
The remainder of this part is divided into
five sections:
“Section
A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services” shows
what to have done, and
how often. Some of these services can
be
complex, so unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary
equipment,
you should let your dealer’s service department
or another qualified
service center
do these jobs.
If you are skilled enough to do some work
on
your vehicle, you will probably want
to get the service information GM
publishes, You will find a list of
publications and how to get them later in
this manual. See “Service Publications”
in the
Index.
“Section B: Owner Checks and Services”
tells you what should be checked
whenever
you stop for fuel. It also
explains what you can easily
do to help
keep
your vehicle in good condition.
. . .238

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine “Section C: Periodic Maintenance
: Inspections” explains important
inspections that your Chevrolet dealer’s
service department or another qualified
service center should perform.
“Section
D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants” lists some products GM
recommends to help keep your vehicle
properly maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be used whether
you do the work yourself or have it done.
“Section
E: Maintenance Record”
provides a place for you to record the
maintenance performed on your vehicle.
Whenever any maintenance is performed,
be sure to write it down in this section.
This will help you determine when your
next maintenance should be done. In
addition, it is a good idea
to keep your
maintenance receipts. They may be
needed to qualify your vehicle for
warranty repairs.
Using Your Maintenance
Schedules
This section tells you the maintenance
services you should have done and
when you should schedule them. Your
Chevrolet dealer knows your vehicle best
and wants you to be happy with it. If you
go to your dealer for your service needs,
you’ll know that GM-trained and
supported service people will perform
the work using genuine GM parts.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within
recommended limits.
You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s
Tire-Loading Information label. See
“Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road pprfaces
within legal driving limits.
use
the recommended unleaded fuel.
See “Fuel” in the Index.

two schedules is right for your vehicle.
Here’s how to decide which schedule to
follow:
