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
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.
