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.

section and note how you drive. If you have any
questions on how to keep your vehicle in good

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:
