How
This
Section is Organized
The remainder of this section is divided into five parts:
“Part
A:
Scheduled Maintenance Services’’
shows
what
to
have done and how often. Some of these
services can be complex,
so
unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary equipment, you should
let your dealer’s service department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
I
A
CAUTION:
I
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can
be dangerous. In trying to
do
some jobs, you can
be seriously injured.
Do
your own maintenance
work only if
you
have the required know-how
and the proper tools and equipment for the job.
If
you have any doubt, have a qualified
technician do the work.
If
you are skilled enough
to
do some work on your
vehicle, you will probably want
to
get the service
information
GM
publishes. See “Service and Owner
Publications” in the Index.
“Part
B:
Owner Checks and Services”
tells
you what should be checked and when. It also explains
what
you
can easily do
to
help keep your vehicle in
good condition.
“Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections”
explains important inspections that your Buick dealer’s
service department or another qualified service center
should perform.
“Part
D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
lists
some products
GM
recommends
to
help keep your
vehicle properly maintained. These products, or their
equivalents, should be used whether you
do
the work
yourself or have it done.
“Part
E:
Maintenance Record”
provides a place for
you to record the maintenance performed
on
your
vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed,
be
sure to write it down in this part.
This
will help you
determine when your next maintenance should be done.
In
addition,
it
is a good idea to keep your maintenance
receipts. They may be needed
to
qualify your vehicle for
warranty repairs.
