Scheduled Maintenance
Change engine
oil
and filter as indicated by the GM
Oil Life SystemTM (or every
12
months, whichever
occurs first). Reset the system.
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know
when to change the engine
oil
and filter. This is based on
engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on
mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at
WhlCh
an
011
change will be Indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil 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 message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC) will come on. Change
your oil as soon as possible within the next two
times you stop for fuel. It is possible that,
if
you are
driving 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 system 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
5-73
for information on resetting the system.
After the services are performed, record the date,
odometer reading and who performed the service on the
maintenance record pages in Part
E
of this schedule.
