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 the vehicle warranties. See the 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 this vehicle in good
working condition. Any damage caused by failure to
follow scheduled maintenance may not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep
the 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 the vehicle. To help protect
the environment, and to keep the vehicle in good
condition, be sure to maintain the vehicle properly.
6-2

How This Section is Organized
This maintenance schedule is divided into four parts:
“Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services”explains
what to have done and how often. Some of these
services can be complex, so unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary equipment, let
your dealer/retailer do these jobs.
Your dealer/retailer has trained and supported service
people that will perform the work using genuine parts.
{CAUTION:
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be
dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can be
seriously injured. Do your own maintenance work
only if you have the required know-how and the
proper tools and equipment for the job. If you have
any doubt, have a qualified technician do the work.
SeeDoing Your Own Service Work on page 5-5.To purchase service information, seeService
Publications Ordering Information on page 7-10.
“Part B: Owner Checks and Services”tells what
should be checked and when. It also explains what can
easily be done to keep the vehicle in good condition.
“Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”lists
some recommended products necessary to help
keep the vehicle properly maintained. These products,
or their equivalents, should be used whether you do the
work yourself or have it done.
“Part D: Maintenance Record”is a place to record
and keep track of the maintenance performed on
the vehicle. Keep the maintenance receipts. They may
be needed to qualify the vehicle for warranty repairs.

Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services
In this part are scheduled maintenance services which
are to be performed at the mileage intervals specified.
Using the Maintenance Schedule
We want to help keep this vehicle in good working
condition. But we do not know exactly how you will drive
it. You might drive very short distances only a few
times a week. Or you might drive long distances all the
time in very hot, dusty weather. You might use the
vehicle in making deliveries or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people use their
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You might 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 the vehicle in good condition,
see your dealer/retailer.
This part tells you the maintenance services that should
be done and when to schedule them.
When you go to your dealer/retailer for service, trained
and supported service people will perform the work
using genuine parts.The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in
Part C. Make sure whoever services the 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 on the vehicle’s Certification or Tire
Information label. SeeLoading the Vehicle on
page 4-20.
•are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
•use the recommended fuel. SeeGasoline Octane
on page 5-6for gasoline engine vehicles orWhat
Fuel to Use on page 5-8for diesel engine vehicles.
Scheduled Maintenance
Supplements
If the vehicle has a Caterpillar®diesel engine, the owner
manual is supplemented by the Caterpillar®Diesel
Engine Operation & Maintenance Manual. If the vehicle
has an Allison Transmission
®, the owner manual is
supplemented by an Allison Transmission®Operator’s
Manual. Always refer to these manuals for related
maintenance services.
6-4

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. See
Engine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-35
orEngine Oil Life System (DURAMAX/Isuzu Diesel
Engines) on page 5-36orEngine Oil Life System
(Caterpillar Diesel Engine) on page 5-38.
The “Footnotes” at the end of this Maintenance
Schedule further explain maintenance services.
