Scheduled Maintenance The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles (160 000 km) should be repeated after 100,000 miles (160 000 km) at the same intervals for the life of this vehicle. The services shown at 150,000 miles (240 000 km) should be repeated at the same interval after 150,000 miles (240 000 km) for the life of this vehicle. See Part B: Owner Checks and Services on page 346 and Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections on page 351. * If your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC), it also has the GM Oil Life System, a computer system that lets you know when to change the oil and filter. This is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature and not on mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is changed. When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE OIL SOON message on the Driver Information Center (DIC) will come on. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 148. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next two times you stop for fuel. See Engine Oil on page 247. It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It is also important to check your oil regularly and keep it at the proper level. Footnotes † The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle's useful life. We, however, urge that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded. 337
