1995 GMC SIERRA oil pressure

Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean
off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing to
a clean section
of the cloth.
When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with a
blow dryer to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See the previous NOTICE.)
Fabric Protection
Your vehicle has upholstery and carpet that has been treated with
Scotchgard TM Fabric Protector, a 3M product. Scotchgard TN protects fabrics
by repelling oil and water, which are the carriers of most stains. Even with
this protection, you still need to clean your upholstery and carpet often to
keep
it looking new.
Further information
on cleaning is available by calling 1-800-433-3296 (in
Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains
Stains caused by grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with
cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and
asphalt can be removed as follows:
Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed as soon
as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them and may cause them to spread.
Non-Greasy Stains
Stains caused by catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft
drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood can be removed as follows:
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool
water.
If a stain remains. follow the foam-type instructions described earlier.

Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing
it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle
in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps
or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild
detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or that
contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly
and
not allowed to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish
with a soft, clean chamois
or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches
and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle by hand may be
necessary
to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM
approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and
Materials” in the Index.)
Your
GM manufactured vehicle may have a ‘‘base~~at/~learcoat” paint
finish. The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.
Always use waxes and polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a
basecoatklearcoat paint finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a
basecoatlclearcoat paint finish may dull the finish
or leave swirl
marks.
Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting
agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial
chimneys, etc. can damage your vehicle’s
finish if they remain on painted
surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If necessary, use
non-abrasive cleaners that are
marked safe for painted surfaces to remove
foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject
to aging, weather and chemical fallout
that can take their
toll over a period of years. You can help to keep the paint
finish looking new by keeping your vehicle garaged or covered whenever
possible.

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.
