{Warning
Performing maintenance work can be
dangerous and can cause serious injury.

Own Service Work 0229.
Maintenance Schedule
Tire Rotation and Required Services
Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first rotation is the
most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate the
tires as soon as possible, check for proper
tire inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels. If the unusual wear continues after the rotation, check the
wheel alignment. See
When It Is Time for
New Tires 0275 and
Wheel Replacement 0279.
.Perform Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection.
See Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection (MPVI)
0 302.
.Lubricate body components. See Exterior
Care 0290.
Additional Required Services —Normal
Service
Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
.When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message displays, have the engine oil and
filter changed within the next 1 000 km/
600 mi. If driven under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system may
not indicate the need for vehicle service
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a year and
the oil life system must be reset. Your
trained dealer technician can perform this
work. If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle within
5 000 km/3,000 mi since the last service.
Reset the oil life system when the oil is
changed. See Engine Oil Life System

Or every 24 months, 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.
Every 72 000 km (45,000 mi)
.Change rear axle fluid, if equipped with
limited-slip differential. Do not directly

differential. Do not directly power wash
the rear axle output seals. High pressure
water can overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid. Contaminated fluid
will decrease the life of the rear axle.
.Drain and fill engine cooling system. Or
every six years, whichever comes first.
