Speedometer 
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles 
per hour  (mph) and kilometers  per hour  (km/h). 
Tamper-Resistant  Odometer 
Your odometer  shows how far your vehicle has been 
driven,  in either miles (used 
in the United  States) or 
kilometers  (used  in Canada). 
Your  Oldsmobile has  a tamper-resistant odometer. 
If you 
see  silver  lines between the numbers, you’ll know that 
someone 
has probably  tried to turn it back, so the 
numbers  may  not  be  true. 
You  may wonder what  happens if your vehicle needs  a 
new  odometer  installed. 
If the new one can be set  to the 
mileage  total 
of the old odometer, then it  must be. But  if 
it can’t, then  it’s set at zero and  a label must  be put  on 
the driver’s  door to show the old mileage  reading when 
the  new  odometer  was installed. 
Trip  Odometer 
The  trip odometer  can tell  you  how  far you  have driven 
since  you last reset it. 
To reset the  trip  odometer  to zero, 
press  the knob  to 
the right of the gage.

1 Section 6 Service and Appearance  Care 
Here  you  will  find  information  about  the  care of your 
Oldsmobile.  This  section  begins  with  service  and  fuel 
information,  and  then  it  shows  how  to  check  important  fluid  and  lubricant  levels.  There  is  also  technical  infomation about 
your  vehicle,  and 
a part  devoted  to  its  appearance  care.

Doing Your Own Service Work 
If you want to  do  some of your own service work, you’ll 
want  to get 
the proper  Oldsmobile  Service  Manual. It 
tells  you much  more about  how  to service your 
Oldsmobile  than this manual  can. To order  the proper 
service Inanual,  see  “Service Publications”  in the Index. 
Your  vehicle 
has an air  bag  system.  Before  attempting to 
do your own service work, see  “Servicing  Your Air 
Bag-Equipped  Oldsmobile” 
in the Index. 
You should keep  a record with all parts receipts  and  list 
the mileage  and the date 
of any  service  work you 
perform.  See  “Maintenance  Record” 
in the Index.
