Maintenance Schedule
Introduction
Notice:Maintenance intervals, checks, inspections,
recommended uids, and lubricants are necessary to
keep this vehicle in good working condition. Damage
caused by failure to follow scheduled maintenance
might not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Proper vehicle maintenance helps to keep the vehicle in
good working condition, improves fuel economy, and
reduces vehicle emissions for better air quality.
Because of all the different ways people use vehicles,
maintenance needs vary. The vehicle might need
more frequent checks and services. Please read the
information under Scheduled Maintenance. To keep
the vehicle in good condition, see your dealer/retailer.
The maintenance schedule is for vehicles that:
•carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits on the Tire and Loading Information label.
SeeLoading the Vehicle on page 5-33.
•are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
•are driven off-road in the recommended manner.
SeeOff-Road Driving on page 5-13.
•use the recommended fuel. SeeGasoline Octane
on page 6-5.
{WARNING:
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, see your dealer/retailer to have a
qualified technician do the work. SeeDoing Your
Own Service Work on page 6-4.
At your General Motors dealer/retailer, you can be
certain that you will receive the highest level of service
available. Your dealer/retailer has specially trained
service technicians, uses genuine GM replacement
parts, as well as, up to date tools and equipment
to ensure fast and accurate diagnostics.
The proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to
use are listed inRecommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 7-10andMaintenance Replacement Parts on
page 7-12. We recommend the use of genuine parts from
your dealer/retailer.

Rotation of New Tires
To maintain ride, handling, and performance of
the vehicle, it is important that the first rotation
service for new tires be performed when they
have 8 000 to 13 000 km (5,000 to 8,000 miles).
SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on page 6-71.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Oil Message
Displays
Change engine oil and filter. SeeEngine Oil on
page 6-15.An Emission Control Service.
When the Change Oil message displays, service is
required for the vehicle as soon as possible, within the
next 1 000 km/600 miles. If driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system might not indicate
the need for vehicle service for more than a year.
The engine oil and filter must be changed at least
once a year and the oil life system must be reset. Your
dealer/retailer has trained service technicians who will
perform this work and reset the system. If the engine oil
life system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle within
5 000 km/3,000 miles since the last service. Reset the oil
life system whenever the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil
Life System on page 6-18.When the Change Oil message displays, certain
services, checks, and inspections are required.
The services described for MaintenanceIshould be
performed at every engine oil change. The services
described for MaintenanceIIshould be performed when:
•MaintenanceIwas performed the last time the
engine oil was changed.
•It has been 10 months or more since the Change
Oil message has displayed or since the last
service.
MaintenanceI
