1998 Oldsmobile Aurora mileage

Speedometer Odometer and Trip Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(M).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your trip odometer tells you how
far you have driven
since you last reset it. Press the trip button located next
to the trip odometer below the fuel gage.
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know someone
has probably tampered with it and 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.

Service
Your retailer knows your vehicle best and wants you to
be happy with it. We hope you’ll go to your retailer for
all your service needs. You’ll get genuine GM parts and
GM-trained and supported service people.
We hope you’ll want
to keep your GM vehicle all GM.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to use the proper Aurora Service Manual. It tells
you much more about how to service your vehicle than
this manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service and Owner 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 Vehicle” 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.
