Doing Your Own
Service Work
{Warning
It can be dangerous to work
on your vehicle if you do not
have the proper knowledge,
service manual, tools,
or parts. Always follow
owner’s manual procedures
and consult the service
manual for your vehicle
before doing any
service work. If doing some of your own
service work, use the proper
service manual. It tells you
much more about how to
service the vehicle than this
manual can. To order the
proper service manual, see
Publication Ordering
Information
0496.
This vehicle has an airbag
system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see
Servicing the Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle 077.
If equipped with remote
vehicle start, open the hood
before performing any service
work to prevent remote
starting the vehicle
accidentally. See Remote
Vehicle Start 016.
Keep a record with all parts
receipts and list the mileage
and the date of any service
work performed. See
Maintenance Records 0479.

386 Vehicle Care
Caution
Failure to use the
recommended engine oil or
equivalent can result in
engine damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Viscosity Grade
For the 6.2L V8 (LT4) engine,
use SAE 0W-40 viscosity
grade engine oil. GM
recommends Mobil 1 engine oil
that shows the dexosR
approved logo.
When selecting an oil of the
appropriate viscosity grade, it
is recommended to select an
oil of the correct specification.
See “Specification” earlier in
this section.
Engine Oil Additives/
Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil.
The recommended oils
meeting the dexos specification are all that is
needed for good performance
and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are
not recommended and could
cause engine damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains
certain elements that can be
unhealthy for your skin and
could even cause cancer. Do
not let used oil stay on your
skin for very long. Clean your
skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner.
Wash or properly dispose of
clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. See the
manufacturer's warnings
about the use and disposal of
oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the
environment. If you change
your own oil, be sure to drain
all the oil from the filter before
disposal. Never dispose of oilby putting it in the trash or
pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or
bodies of water. Recycle it by
taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
Engine Oil Life
System
When to Change
Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer
system that indicates when to
change the engine oil and
filter. This is based on a
combination of factors which
include engine revolutions,
engine temperature, and miles
driven. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at
which an oil change is
indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the
system must be reset every
time the oil is changed.

0143. This is a medium
brake application. Drive for
at least 0.5 km (0.3 mi)
between applying the
brakes.
2. If further cleanup of the brake discs is needed,
repeat this procedure with
0.7g applications.
As with all high performance
brake systems, some amount
of brake squeal is normal.
Brake Pad Life
System (If Equipped)
When to Change
Brake Pads
If equipped, this system
estimates the remaining life of
the front and rear brake pads. Brake Pad Life is displayed in
the Driver Information Center
(DIC), along with a percentage
for each axle. The system
must be reset every time the
brake pads are changed.
When the system has
determined that the brake
pads need to be replaced, a
message displays, which may
include mileage remaining.
Brake pads should always be
replaced as complete
axle sets.
How to Reset the Brake
Pad Life System
The system will automatically
detect when significantly worn
brake pads are replaced.
When the ignition is turned on
after new pads and wear
sensors are installed, a
message will display. Follow
the prompts to reset the
system.
The brake pad life system can
also be manually reset:
1. Display Brake Pad Life on
the DIC. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
(Base Level) 0136 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0139.
2. Select the Brake Pad Life menu.
3. Select front or rear pads as appropriate.
4. Select YES on the confirmation message.
Repeat for the pads on the
other axle if they were also
replaced.
How to Disable the Brake
Pad Life System
The brake pad life system can
be turned off. This may be
necessary if aftermarket brake
pads without wear sensors
are installed. When the system
is turned off, the front and
rear brake pad
life percentages will not
display. However, the built-in
wear indicators that make a
high-pitched warning sound

Motors and your dealer are
committed to making sure you
are completely satisfied with
the new vehicle. However,
