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 for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle’s
Tire-Loading Information label. See “Loading Your
Vehicle” in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
use the recommended fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index.
driving limits.
Selecting the Right Schedule
First you’ll need to decide which
of
the two schedules is
right for your vehicle. Here’s how to decide which
schedule to follow:
7-4.
