The
U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to
the completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the
maintenance be recorded.

If your vehicle has the GM Oil Life SystemTM, a
computer system lets you know when to change the oil
and filter. This is based
on
engine revolutions and
engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based
on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change

FQ~
the
~i!
life
system to work properly, you must reset the system
every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been
diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary.
A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on.
Change your oil as soon as possible within the next two
limes you slop ior iuei. ii is possibie lnai, ii you are ariving
under the best conditions, the oil life system may not
indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year.
However, your engine oil and filter must be changed at
least once a year and at this time the system must be
reset, It is also important to check your oil regularly and
keep
it
at the proper level.
If the s-vstem is ever reset accidentally, you must
change your oil at
3,000
miles
(5
000
km) since your
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system
whenever the oil is changed. See Engine Oil on
page
5-13
for information on resetting the system.

Whenever the tires are rotated, the Check Tire
Pressure System (if equipped) must be reset.
