ENGINE OIL FILTER ERROR IN OWNERS MANUAL/REVISED PF40

MODELS AFFECTED: ALL 1988 REGALS

NOTICE: This bulletin is being reissued to correct the oil filter number. Correct filter is a PF40. Please discard 88-0-4 and replace it with this new one, 88-0-4A.

The 1988 Regal Owner's Manual incorrectly specifies a PF35 oil filter on Page 6-2. The correct filter is PF40.

The next edition of the Regal Owner's Manual will specify the appropriate filter.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
