If your vehicle has an Oil Life
Indicator, the indicator will show
you when to change the oil and
filter. Under severe conditions the
indicator may come on before
10 000 km/6,000 mi. The indicator
won't detect dust in the oil, so if
you drive in a dusty area you may
have to change the oil and filter
sooner than every 10 000 km/
6,000 mi.
Note: All vehicles with rear-wheel
drive —change driveline axle oil
every 30 000 km/19,000 mi if
vehicle is used for towing
purposes.

conditions listed above, it may be
necessary to replace your spark
plugs at more frequent intervals.
For further assistance in
determining the most suitable service maintenance intervals for
your vehicle, please contact your
authorized GM Dealer.
