Air Conditioning Refrigerants
Not all air conditioning refrigerants are the same. If the air conditioning
system
in your vehicle needs refrigerant, be sure the proper refrigerant is
used.
If you’re not sure, ask your GM dealer. For additional information, see
your “Warranty and Owner Assistance Information’’ booklet.
NOTICE:
R-134A refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in
an air conditioning system. R-12 in an R-134A system will cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil sludge, or poor air
conditioning system performance.

Footnotes
T 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.
*4: 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

15,000 miles (25 000 km).
0 Standard Differential - Check fluid level and add fluid as needed at
every engine oil change. If driving in dusty areas or towing a trailer,
drain fluid and refill every
