last service. Reset the oil life system
when the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil
Life System 0257.
.When the REPLACE AT NEXT OIL CHANGE
message displays, the engine air filter
should be replaced at the next engine oil
change. When the REPLACE ENGINE AIR
FILTER SOON message displays, the
engine air filter should be replaced at the
earliest convenience. Reset the engine air
filter life system after the engine air filter
is replaced. See Engine Air Filter Life
System 0258.
Every 36 000 km (22,500 mi)
.Replace the passenger compartment air
filter (or every 24 months, whichever
occurs first). More frequent replacement
may be needed if the vehicle is driven in
areas with heavy traffic, poor air quality,
areas with high dust levels or are
sensitive to environmental allergens. Filter
replacement may also be needed if you
notice reduced airflow, windows fogging
up, or odors. Your local GM Service
location can help you determine when it
is the right time to replace your filter.
Every 96 000 km (60,000 mi)
.Replace spark plugs. Inspect spark plug
wires and/or boots. Every 161 000 km (100,000 mi)
.Replace hood and/or body lift support gas
struts. Or every 10 years, whichever
comes first. See
Gas Strut(s)0268.
Every 240 000 km (150,000 mi)
.Change rear axle fluid, if equipped with
AWD. Do not directly power wash the
transfer case and/or front/rear axle
output seals. High pressure water can
overcome the seals and contaminate the
transfer case fluid. Contaminated fluid
will decrease the life of the transfer case
and/or axles and should be replaced.
.Drain and fill engine cooling system. Or
every six years, whichever comes first.
See Cooling System 0259.

high sand or dust environment such as
those used on oil pipelines and similar
applications.
.Vehicles that are regularly used for short
trips of 6 km (4 mi) or less.
The oil life indicator will show you when
to change the oil and filter. Under severe
conditions the indicator may come on
before 12 000 km (7,500 mi).
