At your General Motors dealer/retailer, you can be
certain that you will receive the highest level of service
available. Your dealer /retailer has specially trained
service technicians, uses genuine GM replacement
parts, as well as, up to date tools and equipment to
ensure fast and accurate diagnostics.
The proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to
use are listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 79
and Maintenance Replacement Parts
on
page 711
. We recommend the use of genuine parts
from your dealer/retailer.
Rotation of New Tires
Tire rotation is not recommended if the vehicle has
different size tires on the front and rear wheels. If tire
rotation is recommended for the vehicle, to maintain
ride, handling, and performance of the vehicle, it is
important that the first rotation service for new tires be
performed when they have 8 000 to 13 000 km (5,000 to
8,000 miles). See Tire Inspection and Rotation
on
page 667
.

When the Change Engine Oil Soon message displays,
service is required for the vehicle as soon as possible,
within the next 1 000 km/600 miles. If driving under the
best conditions, the engine oil life system might not
indicate the need for vehicle service for more than a
year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least
once a year and the oil life system must be reset. Your
dealer/retailer has trained service technicians who will
perform this work and reset the system. If the engine oil
life system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle
within 5 000 km/3,000 miles since the last service. Reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See
Engine Oil Life System on page 621.
