Secondary Fuel Filter and Water
Separator/Heater
(Caterpillar
®Diesel)
If you have a Caterpillar®
diesel engine, you may
also have this spin-on filter
and fuel separator/heater.
It will be mounted in the
engine compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
It has a metal drain bowl at the bottom. Occasionally,
check the bowl for any water or particles.To check or drain the bowl, do the following:
•Shut off the engine.
•Push up on the spring loaded drain valve until clear
fuel is flowing from the valve.
The particles or water will drain out first. SeeEngine Oil

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/retailer 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
and Isuzu diesel engine vehicles have a computer
that lets you know when to change the 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 5-36orEngine
Oil Life System (DURAMAX
®/Isuzu Diesel Engines) on
page 5-37orEngine Oil Life System (Caterpillar®Diesel
Engine) on page 5-39.

Schedule further explain maintenance services.
