Important: Additional maintenance recommendations are in this subsection. Also refer to Owner Checks and Services , Periodic Maintenance Inspection .

The services shown in this schedule up to 166 000 km (100,000 mi) should be performed after 166 000 km (100,000 mi) at the same intervals. The services shown at 240 000 km (150,000 mi) should be performed at the same interval after 240 000 km (150,000 mi).

Engine Oil Scheduled Maintenance

Change engine oil and filter as indicated by the GM Oil Life Systemâ„¢ or every 12  months, whichever occurs first. Reset the system. The system will show you when to change the oil - usually between 5 000 km (3,000 mi) and 12 500 km (7,500 mi) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the CHANGE OIL SOON message may be displayed before 5 000 km (3,000 mi).

Never drive the vehicle more than 16 000 km (10,000 mi) or 12 months without an oil and filter change.

The system will not detect dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be sure to change the oil and filter every 5 000 km (3,000 mi) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL SOON message is displayed. Reset the Oil Life System when the oil and filter have been changed. Refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting .

Footnotes

[Dagger] 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.

Whenever the tires are rotated, the Check Tire Pressure System, if equipped must be reset. Refer to Tire Pressure Monitor Procedure in Tire Pressure Monitoring.

+ A good time to check the brakes is during tire rotation. Refer to Brake Pad Inspection in Disc Brakes.
