How This Section is Organized The remainder of this section is divided into five parts: "Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services" shows what to have doneand 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 anotherqualified service center do these jobs. "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. 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 requiredknow-how and theproper tools and.equipment for the job. If you have any doubt, have a qualified technician do the work. "Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections" explains important inspections that your Corvette dealer's service department or another qualifiedservice 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 itdone. "Part E: Maintenance Record'' provides a place for you to record the maintenance performedon your vehicle. Whenever any maintenanceis performed, be sure to write it down this part.This will help you in 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.
