Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals
This vehicle is equipped with a GM Oil Life System ™. The GM Oil Life System ™ will show when to change the engine oil and oil filter. This will usually occur between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 16 000 km (10,000 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on before 5 000 km (3,000 miles).
Never drive the vehicle more than 16 000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months without an oil and oil 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 oil filter every 5 000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL SOON indicator comes on. Reset the Oil Life System when the oil and filter have been changed.
This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. For description and resetting information, refer to
GM Oil Life System Resetting
in Maintenance and Lubrication.
This is an Emission Control Service.
Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate the chassis components with each engine oil and filter change. Lubricate the front suspension, ball joints, steering linkage. transmission shift linkage, transfer case shift linkage, parking brake cable guides, and brake front axle. Ball joints should not be lubricated unless their temperature is -12°C (10°F) or higher, or they could be damaged.
Footnotes
† 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.
+ A good time to check the brakes is during tire rotation. Refer to
Explanation of Scheduled Services
in Maintenance and Lubrication.
