1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme maintenance

Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow.removal and dust
control can collect on the underbody.
If these .are not
removed, accelerated coirosion (rust) can occur on the
underbody
parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion
protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials from the
underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud
and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.
Your retailer
or an underbody vehicle -washing system
can do this for you.
Fiberglass Springs
I
NOTICE: 1
Don’t use corrosive or acidic cleaning agents,
engine degreasers, aluminum cleaning agents or
other harsh solvents to clean fiberglass springs;
they’ll damage the springs.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create
a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon
and attack painted surfaces on,your vehicle. This
damage can take two
forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface.
Although
no defect in the paint job causes this,
Oldsmobile will repair, at no charge to the owner, the
surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 h)
of purchase, whichever comes first.

Introduction
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your
vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the
environment. All recommended maintenance procedures
are important. Improper 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 ingood
condition, please maintain your vehicle properly.
Have you purchased the GM Protection -Plan? The Plan

Using Your Maintenance Schedule,
We at General Motors want to help you keep your
vehicle in good working condition. But we don? know
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’ll find
in the schedules in this section.
So please read this
section adnote how you drive.
If you have any
questions on how to keep your vehicle in
good
condition, see your Oldsmobile retailer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when you should schedule them.

go to your retailer for your service needs, you’ll know
that GM-trained and supported service people will
perform the work using genuine GM parts.
