Check fill level on the oil indicator after initial fill to make sure it is actually full. Oil level may vary depending on
vehicle option content.
1Additional oil is required with auxiliary oil filter systems. Make sure to add enough extra oil to fill the auxiliary oil
filter system. For vehicles equipped with the LUBERFINER 750-C, add 14 quarts (13.25 L).

Maintenance Schedule
Introduction
Important: Keep engine oil at the proper level and
change as recommended.
Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The Plan
supplements your new vehicle warranties. See your
Warranty and Owner Assistance booklet or your dealer
for details.
Maintenance Requirements
Maintenance intervals, checks, inspections and
recommended fluids and lubricants as prescribed in this
manual are necessary to keep your vehicle in good
working condition. Any damage caused by failure
to follow scheduled maintenance may not be covered by
warranty.
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your
vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the
environment. Improper vehicle maintenance can
even affect the quality of the air we breathe. Improper
fluid levels or the wrong tire inflation can increase
the level of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect
our environment, and to keep your vehicle in good
condition, be sure to maintain your vehicle properly.

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 and some DURAMAX
®diesel
engine vehicles have a computer that lets you know
when to change your engine oil. This is not based
on mileage, but on engine operation and engine
temperature. When the computer has calculated that the
oil needs changing, the Engine Oil Life System will
indicate that a change is necessary. SeeEngine Oil Life
System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-31orEngine Oil
Life System (DURAMAX
®Diesel) on page 5-33or
Engine Oil Life System (Caterpillar®Diesel Engine) on
page 5-34.
The “Footnotes” at the end of this Maintenance
Schedule further explain maintenance services.
