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.
Performing ma~ntenance 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 GM 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 perf‘ormed, 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.
