How
This
Section
is
Organized
The remainder of this
section is divided
into
five
parts:
“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.
I
/11
CAUTION:
I
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
the
job.
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.
“Part
B:
Owner
Checks
and
Services”
tells
you
what
should
be
checked
whenever
you
stop for fuel.
It
also
explains
what
you
can easily do to
help
keep
your
vehicle
in
good
condition.
“Part
C:
Periodic
Maintenance
Inspections”
explains
important
inspections
that
your
Pontiac
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
you
do
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
your
vehicle
for
warranty
repairs,
