Block on page 10-25 . Engine Oil To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment: .
Always use engine oil approved
to the proper specification and of
the proper viscosity grade. See
“ Selecting the Right Engine Oil ”
in this section. .
Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “ Checking
Engine Oil ” and “ When to Add
Engine Oil ” in this section. .
Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See
Maintenance Schedule on
page 11-3 . .
Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “ What to Do with
Used Oil ” in this section. Checking Engine Oil It is a good idea to check the engine
oil level at each fuel fill. In order to
get an accurate reading, the vehicle
must be on level ground. The
engine oil dipstick handle is a loop.
See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 10-7 for the location of the
engine oil dipstick.
Obtaining an accurate oil level
reading is essential:
1. If the engine has been running
recently, turn off the engine and
allow several minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Checking the oil level too soon
after engine shutoff will not
provide an accurate oil level
reading.
{ Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.

Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) Fluid
{ Caution .
GM recommends using
ACDelco CVT Fluid (Part No.
19260800, in
Canada 19299096) in CVT.
Do not mix with other fluids. .
Do not use Automatic
transmission fluid (AFT) or
Manual Transmission fluid in
a CVT, as it may damage the
CVT. Damage caused by the
use of fluids other than as
recommended is not covered
under the vehicle warranty. .
Using fluids that are not
equivalent to ACDelco CVT
Fluid (Part No. 19260800, in
Canada 19299096) may
damage the CVT. Damage
caused by the use of fluids
(Continued) Caution (Continued) other than as recommended
is not covered under the
vehicle warranty.
When checking or replacement of
CVT fluid is required, see your
dealer for servicing.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter The engine air cleaner/filter is near
the rear of the engine compartment
on the driver side. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-7 .
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect or replace the air cleaner/
filter at the scheduled maintenance
intervals. See Maintenance
Schedule on page 11-3 . If driving in
dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the
filter at each engine oil change. How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter To inspect the air cleaner/filter,
remove the filter from the vehicle
and lightly shake it to release loose
dust and dirt. If the filter remains
covered with dirt, a new filter is
required. Never use compressed air
to clean the filter.
To inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter:
1. Air Cleaner/Filter Cover
2. Air Cleaner/Filter Tabs (2)

Black plate (12,1)Chevrolet City Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
7707496) - 2015 - CRC - 11/26/14
10-12 Vehicle Care 1. Push the tabs (2) in at both ends
of the air cleaner/filter cover (1).
2. Pull the air cleaner/filter
cover (1) up from the air cleaner/
filter assembly.
3. Remove the air cleaner holder
and filter from the engine air
cleaner housing. Be careful to
dislodge as little dirt as possible.
4. Clean the engine air cleaner/
filter housing.
5. Remove the air cleaner/filter
from the air cleaner holder. 6. Inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter. Make sure that the
filter fits properly into the air
cleaner holder.
7. Reinstall the air cleaner/filter on
the air cleaner holder and slide
them into the air cleaner
housing.
8. Reinstall the air cleaner/filter
cover and be sure that the tabs
click into place. { WarningOperating the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off can cause you or
others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it
helps to stop flames if the engine
backfires. Use caution when
working on the engine and do not
drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
{ WarningNever pour fuel into the throttle
body or attempt to start the
engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in
serious injury.

Vehicle Care 10-13
{ CautionIf the air cleaner/filter is off, dirt
can easily get into the engine,
which could damage it. Always
have the air cleaner/filter in place
when you are driving.
Cooling System The cooling system allows the
engine to maintain the correct
working temperature.
1. Coolant Recovery Tank 2. Radiator Pressure Cap
3. Engine Cooling Fans (Out
of View)
{ WarningAn electric engine cooling fan can
start even when the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always
keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any engine
cooling fan.
{ Warning
Heater and radiator hoses, and
other engine parts, can be very
hot. Do not touch them. If you do,
you can be burned.
Do not run the engine if there is a
leak. If you run the engine, it
could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine fire, and you
could be burned. Get any leak
fixed before you drive the vehicle. { CautionUsing coolant other than the
recommended engine coolant can
cause premature engine, heater
core, or radiator corrosion. In
addition, the engine coolant could
require changing sooner. Any
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Always use
the recommended engine coolant.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11-11 .
Engine Coolant The cooling system in the vehicle is
filled with long life antifreeze
coolant. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 11-11 .
The following explains the cooling
system and how to check and add
coolant when it is low. If there is a
problem with engine overheating,
see Engine Overheating on
page 10-16 .
