How
~ ~
1
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 retailer’s service department or another
qualified service center do these jobs.
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 required know-how
and the proper tools and equipment for the
job.
If
you have any doubt, have
a
qualified
technician do the work.
“Part
B:
Owner Checks and Services” tells you what
should be checked and when. 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 Oldsmobile retailer’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 performed, 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.
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.
