Using Your Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want
to
help you keep your
vehicle in good working condition. But we don’t know
exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive
very
short
distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive
long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather.
You may
use
your vehicle in making deliveries.
Or you may drive it to work, to
do
errands or in
many other ways.
Because
of
all the different ways people use their
GM vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even
need more frequent checks and replacements than you’ll
find in the schedules in this section.
So
please read this
section and note
how
you
drive. If you have any
questions on how to keep your vehicle in good
condition,
see
your Buick dealer.
This part tells
you
the maintenance services you should
have done and when you should schedule them. If you
go
to
your dealer for your service needs, you’ll know
that GM-trained and supported service people will
perform the work using genuine
GM
parts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in
Part
D.
Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these.
All
parts
should be replaced and all necessary repairs done
before you or anyone else drives the vehicle.
These schedules are for vehicles that:

limits. You will find these limits

your vehicle’s
Tire-Loading Information label. See “Loading Your
Vehicle”
in
the Index.

Selecting the Right Schedule
First you’ll need to decide which
of
the two schedules is
right for your vehicle. Here’s how to decide which
schedule
to
follow:
