Services
Using Your Maintenance
Schedule
We at
General
Motors
want
to
help
you
keep
your
vehicle
in
good
working
condition.
But
we don’t
know
exactly how
you’ll
drive
it. You
may drive
very
short
distances
only
a
few
times
a
week.
Or
you
may drive
long
distances
all
the
time
in very
hot,
dusty
weather.
You
may use
your
vehicle
in
making
deliveries.
Or
you
may drive it to
work,
to
do errands
or
in many
other
ways.
Because of all
the
different
ways
people
use
their
GM
vehicles,
maintenance
needs
vary.
You
may even
need
more
frequent
checks
and
replacements
than
you’ll
find
in the
schedules in this
section.
So
please
read
this
section
and
note
how
you
drive.
If
you
have
any
questions on
how
to keep
your
vehicle
in
good
condition,
see
your
Oldsmobile
retailer.
This
part
tells
you
the
maintenance
services
you
should
have
done
and
when
you
should
schedule
them.
If
you
go to
your
retailer for your
service
needs,
you’ll
know
that
GM-trained
and
supported
service
people
will
perform
the
work
using
genuine
GM
parts.
The
proper
fluids
and
lubricants
to
use
are
listed
in
Part
D.
Make
sure
whoever
services
your
vehicle
uses
these.
All
parts
should
be
replaced
and
all
necessary
repairs
done
before
you
or
anyone
else
drives
the
vehicle.
These
schedules
are
