Engine Oil and
Filter Change”
-
Always use
SH
or
SG
Energy
Conserving I1 oils of proper
viscosity. The
“SH”
or
“SG”
designation may
be shown alone
or
in
combination with others,
such as “SH/CD,”
“SH,
SG,
CD,”
“SG/CD,” etc.
To
deter-
mine the preferred viscosity for
your
vehicle’s engine (e.g., SAE

5W-30 or SAE 1OW-30)’ see
“Engine
Oil”
in
the Index.
Chassis Lubrication
-
Lubricate
the suspension and steering
linkage. Lubricate the
transmission shift linkage.
Tire and
Wheel Rotation and
InsDection
-
For proper wear
and
maximum
tire life, rotate
your tires following the
instructions
in
this manual. See
“Tires, Inspection and Rotation”
in
the Index. Check the tires for
uneven
wear or damage. If
you
see irregular or premature wear,
check the wheel alignment.
Check for damaged wheels also.
Engine Accessory Drive Belt(s)
Inspection
-
Inspect the belt(s)
for cracks, fraying, wear
and
proper tension. Replace as
needed. (Belts can
have
many
small cracks
in
individual ribs
without affecting performance.)
ITEM
NO.
SERVICE

Cooling System Service*
-
Drain, flush and refill the system
with
new or approved recycled
coolant conforming to
GM
Specification
1825M.
Keep
coolant at the proper mixture as
specified. See “Coolant”
in
the
Index. This provides proper
freeze and
boil protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and
maintains proper engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses
and replace
if
they
are cracked, swollen or deterior-
ated. Tighten screw-type hose
clamps. Clean the outside
of
the
radiator and air conditioning
condenser. Wash the pressure
cap and
neck.
To
help ensure proper operation,
we recommend a pressure test of
both
the cooling system and
the
pressure cap.
