You can be injurea and your vehicle could be
damaged
if
you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused.
If
you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall
off.
You could be hurt.
Adding Equipment
to
the Outside
of
Your
Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can
affect the airflow around it.
This
may cause wind noise
and affect windshield washer performance. Check with
your Oldsmobile retailer before adding equipment to the
outside of your vehicle.
Fuel
The 8th digit
of
your vehicle identification number
(VIN)
shows the code letter for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left of your instrument panel.
(See “Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index.)
Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at
87
octane or
higher. At a minimum, it should meet specifications
ASTM
D4814
in the United States and
CGSB
3.5-M93
in Canada. Improved gasoline specifications have been
developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers
Association (AAMA) for better vehicle performance
and engine protection. Gasolines meeting the AAMA
specification could provide improved driveability and
emission control system protection compared to
other gasolines.
