1995 GMC SIERRA service interval

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires
on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.

If your vehicle has single rear wheels, always use one of the correct rotation
patterns shown here when rotating your tires.
If your vehicle has front tires with different load ranges
or tread designs
(such as all season vs. on/off road) than the rear tires. don‘t rotate your tires
front
to rear.

If your vehicle has dual rear wheels and the load range and tread design for
your front tires

If your engine has more than one emissions classification, the classification
is determined by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your vehicle
as shown on the Certification Label. See “Loading Your Vehicle”
in the
Index.
Once you’ve determined your engine type and,
if necessary, emissions
classification, you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is right for
your vehicle. See Definitions for Maintenance Schedule
I and Maintenance
Schedule
I1 following.
Schedule I Definition - Gasoline Engines With Light Duty
Emissions
Follow Maintenance Schedule I if any one of these is true for your vehicle:
iII Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km). This is particularly
important when outside temperatures are below freezing.
0 Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent driving in
stop-and-go traffic).
You operate your vehicle in dusty areas or off-road frequently.
0 You frequently tow a trailer.
Schedule
I should also be followed if the vehicle is used for delivery
service, police, taxi, or other commercial application.

Maintenance Schedule I - Gasoline Engines With
Light
Duty Emissions
The services shown in this schedule up to 60,000 miles (1 00 000 km) should
be performed after
60,000 miles (100 000 km) at the same intervals.
Footnotes
3 The California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to
perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or
limit recall liability prior to the completion of vehicle useful life. We,
however, urge that all recommended maintenance services be performed at
the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.
:$* Drive axle service:
Locking Differential - Drain fluid and refill at first engine oil change.
At subsequent oil changes, check fluid level and add fluid
as needed. If
driving in dusty areas or towing a trailer, drain fluid and refill every
15,000 miles (25 000 km).
0 Standard Differential - Check fluid level and add fluid as needed at
every oil change.
If driving in dusty areas or towing a trailer, drain
fluid and refill every 15,000 miles (25 000 km).
More frequent lubrication may be required for heavy-duty or off-road
use.
3500 HD Models with applications requiring extreme overload/trailer
towing conditions and high speed (above
45 mph or 72 kmh)
conditions for extended periods of time must have the drive axle fluid
changed every
3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever occurs
first, or must use
75W-140 synthetic fluid meeting GM specifications.
