1997 Buick Park Avenue Owner's Manual - Page 347

How This Section is Organized The remainder of this section is divided into fiveparts: "Part B: Owner Checks and Services" tells you what should be checked and when. It alsoexplains what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition. "Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services" shows what to have done and how often. Some of these services can be complex, so unless you are technically qualified and have the necessary equipment, you should let your dealer's service department or another qualified service center do these jobs. "Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections" explains important inspections that your Buick dealer's service department or another qualified service center should perform. "Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" lists some products GM recommends to help keep your vehicle properly maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be used whether youdo the work yourself or have it done. "Part E: Maintenance Record'' provides a place for you to record the maintenance performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed, be sure to write it down in this part. This will help you determine when your next maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a good idea to keep your maintenance receipts. They may be needed to qualify yourvehicle for warranty repairs. - A CAUTION: Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can be seriously injured. Do your own maintenance work only if you have the required know-how and the proper tools and equipment for thejob. If you have any doubt, have a qualified technician do the work. If you are skilled enough to do some work on your vehicle, you will probably want to get the service information GM publishes. See "Service and Owner Publications" in the Index. 7-3
