2004 CHEVROLET KODIAK service schedule

Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services
In this part are scheduled maintenance services which
are to be performed at the mileage intervals specified.
Using Your Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help keep your vehicle in
good working condition. But we do not know exactly
how you will 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 in
many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people use their
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may need more
frequent checks and replacements. So please read
the following and note how you drive. If you have any
questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition,
see your dealer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when to schedule them.
When you go to your dealer for your service needs, you
will 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 C. 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.
This schedule is for vehicles that:
•carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits. You will find limits on your vehicle’s GVW
Rating label. SeeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-33.
•are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
•use the recommended fuel. SeeWhat Fuel to Use
on page 5-8.
Scheduled Maintenance
Supplements
If your vehicle has a Caterpillar®diesel engine, your
owner’s manual is supplemented by the Caterpillar®
Diesel Engine Operation & Maintenance Manual. If your
vehicle has an Allison transmission, your owner’s
manual is supplemented by an Allison
Transmission
®Operator’s Manual. Always refer to these
manuals for related maintenance services.

Scheduled Maintenance
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) at the same intervals for the life of
this vehicle. The services shown after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated at the same miles (km)
after those intervals for the life of this vehicle.
Gasoline engine vehicles have a computer that lets you
know when to change your engine oil. This is not
based on mileage, but on engine revolutions and engine
operating temperature. When the computer has
calculated that the oil needs changing, the GM Oil Life
System will indicate that a change is necessary.
The “Footnotes” at the end of this Maintenance
Schedule further explain maintenance services.

page 7-7.
