,Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services
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.
If you
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.

The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in
Part D. Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses
these. All parts should be replaced and all necessary
repairs done before you or anyone else drives the
vehicle.
These schedules are for vehicles that:

limits. You will find these limits on your ve.hicle’s
