Using
Your
Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your
vehicle
in
good working condition. But we don’t know
exactly how
you’ll
drive
it.
You
may drive very short
distances
only
a
few times
a
week. Or you may drive
long distances all
the
time
in
very hot, dusty weather.
You may use your vehicle
in
making deliveries. Or
you may drive
it
to work, to do errands or
in
many
other ways.
Because
of
all the different ways people use their
GM
vehicles, maintenance needs vary.
You
may even need
more frequent checks and replacements than you’ll find
in
the schedules
in
this section.
So
please read this
section and note how you drive. If you have any
questions on how to keep your vehicle
in
good
condition,
see
your
GM
dealer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when you should schedule them. If you
go to your dealer for your service needs, you’ll know
that GM-trained and supported service people will
perform the
work
using genuine
GM
parts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in
Part
D.
Make sure whoever services your vehicle
uses these.
All
parts should be replaced and all
necessary repairs done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle.

Selecting the Right Schedule
First you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules

right

your vehicle. Here’s how to decide which
