Simplified Maintenance I and II

with gasoline engines and with GM Oil Life System (OLS)

Required Services for most vehicles are described by the terms Maintenance I and Maintenance II.  Use Maintenance I if your oil life is 20% or 6000 miles or when Maintenance II was the last service performed.

The first service should be Maintenance I, the second should be Maintenance II.  Alternate between the two schedules thereafter.  Depending upon your driving habits, Maintenance II may be required more often.  Refer to your Owner's Manual for specific maintenance requirements.

Notice: It is important to check your engine oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.  Failure to maintain proper oil level can result in expensive engine repairs not covered by the vehicle warranty.

It is also important to regularly check your tires for wear and proper inflation.  Failure to maintain properly inflated tires can result in premature tire wear, vehicle damage, or personal injury.

Maintenance Schedule I

 
  • Change engine oil and filter.  Reset oil life system.
  • Visually check for any leaks or damage.
  • Inspect engine air cleaner filter; replace if necessary.
  • Rotate and inspect tires.  Check inflation pressures and wear.
  • Inspect brake system, including brake lines, hoses, calipers, pads, wheel cylinders, rotors, and drums.
  • Check engine coolant and windshield washer fluid.
  • Trucks: Lubricate front suspension, ball joints, steering linkage, and parking brake cable.

Additional recommended services and costs, resulting from inspections performed, will be brought to your attention
