Using the Maintenance Schedule

We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we do not know exactly how you will 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 vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may need more frequent checks and replacements. So please read the following and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your GM Goodwrench dealer.

This schedule is for vehicles that:

• Carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle's Certification/Tire label. Refer to Label - Vehicle Certification (w/RPO Z49) .
• Are driven off-road in the recommended manner.
• Use the recommended fuel.

The services in Scheduled Maintenance  should be performed when indicated. Refer to Additional Required Services  and Maintenance Footnotes  for further information.

When you go to your GM Goodwrench dealer for your service needs, you'll know that GM-trained and supported service technicians will perform the work using genuine GM parts.

Owner Checks and Services  tells you what should be checked, when to check it and what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition.

The proper replacement parts, fluids and lubricants to use are listed in Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations  and Maintenance Items . When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these are used. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle. We recommend the use of genuine GM parts.
