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 Brake Inspection in

Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals
Change engine oil and filter as indicated by the GM Oil Life System™ or every 12 months, whichever occurs first. Reset the system.
This vehicle has a computer system that indicate when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated the oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL message will come on. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next two times you stop for fuel. It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil an filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. Your dealer has GM-trained service people who will perform this work using genuine GM parts and reset the system.
It is important to check your oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must change your oil at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) since your last oil change.
This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. For description and resetting information, refer to
GM Oil Life System Resetting
.
See the mileage intervals following for additional services that may be performed with an engine oil change. After the services are performed, record the date, odometer reading and who performed the service on the maintenance record pages.
