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.
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 Chevrolet 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.
