Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your
Chevrolet dealer is ready to advise if you
think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
See if any one of these is true for you:
Most trips are less than 4 miles
It’s below freezing outside and most
trips are less than
10 miles (16 km).
(6 km).
The engine is at low speed most of
the time (as
in stop-and-go traffic).
Most trips are through dusty places.
If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, you need to change your oil and
filter every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or
3 months
- whichever comes first.
(See “Engine Oil Life Monitor” in the
Index.)
If none of them is true, change the oil
every 7,500 miles
( 12 500 km) or 12
months
- whichever comes first. Change
the filter at the first oil change and at
every other oil change after that. (See
“Engine Oil Life Monitor” in the Index.)
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block
Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big
help if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
0 “F (- 18 “C) or colder. If
your vehicle has this feature, see “Engine
Coolant Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil
contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your
skin for very long. Clean your skin
and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or throw away
clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings
about the use and disposal of oil
products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the
environment. If you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from
the filter before disposal. Don’t ever
dispose of oil by putting it in the trash,
pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or
into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle
it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or
a local
recycling center for help. L 1

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
There are only two reasons why the brake
fluid level in your master cylinder might
go down. The first is that the brake fluid
goes down to an acceptable level during
normal brake lining wear. When new
linings are put in, the fluid level goes
back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out of the brake system.
If it is,
you should have your brake system fixed,
since a leak means that sooner or later
your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off’ your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t
correct a leak. If you add fluid when your
linings are worn, then you’ll have too
much fluid when you get new brake
linings. You should add (or remove)
brake fluid, as necessary, only when work
is done on the brake hydraulic system. When your brake fluid falls to a
low level, your brake warning light,
“SERVICE ABS” light and “SERVICE
ASR” light will come on. Also, the
anti-lock brake and Acceleration Slip
Regulation systems are disabled. See
“Brake System Warning Light” in the
Index.
What to Add:
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid
- such as Delco-
Supreme
1 l@ (GM Part No. 1052535).
Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only, and always clean the brak
fluid reservoir cap before removing it.
