Maintenance Schedule Gasoline
Normal Vehicle Use
Because of the different ways GM vehicles are used, maintenance needs
vary. More frequent maintenance intervals than found in this manual may by
needed. When reading this section, keep in mind the conditions under
which the vehicle is operated, and adjust the maintenance intervals
accordingly.
The maintenance schedules found in this manual are for vehicles that:
| • | Are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits. |
| • | Are driven off-road in the recommended manner. |
| • | Use recommended unleaded fuel. |
Selecting The Right Maintenance Schedule
Determine which of the two schedules is right for this vehicle. Refer
to the definitions of maintenance schedules below.
Important: Additional maintenance recommendations are in this subsection. Also
refer to
Owner Checks and Services
,
Explanation of Scheduled Services
and
Periodic Maintenance Inspection
.
Short Trip/City Maintenance Definition
Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance only if any one of
the following conditions is true for this vehicle:
| • | Most trips are less than 8 - 16 km (5 - 10 miles). |
| | This is particularly important when the outside temperature is below
freezing. |
| • | Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent driving
in stop-and-go traffic). |
| • | Most trips are through dusty areas. |
| • | Trailer towing or using a carrier on top of the vehicle frequently. |
| • | The vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi, or other
commercial application. |
These conditions cause engine oil to break down sooner.
