(1) Or every two years, whichever comes
first. More frequent passenger compartment
air filter replacement may be needed if
driving in areas with heavy traffic, poor air
quality, high dust levels, or environmental
allergens. Passenger compartment air filter
replacement may also be needed if there is
reduced airflow, window fogging, or odors.
Your GM dealer can help determine when to
replace the filter.

the transfer case and/or axles and should be
replaced.
(4) Or every five years, whichever comes
first. See Cooling System 0243. (5)
Or every 10 years, whichever comes first.
Inspect for fraying, excessive cracking,

services and conditions to look for that may
indicate services are required.
