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 Oldsmobile retailer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when you should schedule them. If you
go
to
your retailer 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.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
0
carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits.
You
will find these limits on your vehicle’s
Tire-Loading Information label. See “Loading
Your
Vehicle” in the Index.
0
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
0
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel”
in
the Index.
Selecting the Right Schedule
First you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is
right for your vehicle. Here’s how to decide which
schedule to follow:
