Using the Maintenance Schedule
Because of all the different ways that customers use their vehicles, maintenance needs vary. Some vehicles may need more frequent inspections and replacements.
This schedule is for vehicles that adhere to certain driving conditions:
- Vehicles that carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits - These limits are described on the vehicle's Certification/Tire label. Refer to Label - Vehicle Certification (w/ RPO Z49) or Label - Vehicle Certification (w/o RPO Z49) in General Information.
- Vehicles that are driven off-road in the recommended manner
- Vehicles that are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits
- Vehicles that use the recommended fuel
Perform the services in Scheduled Maintenance when indicated. Refer to Additional Required Services and to Maintenance Footnotes for further information.
CAUTION:
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, see your GM Goodwrench® dealer to have a qualified technician do the work.
Refer to Owner Checks and Services for information on the following conditions:
- What parts should be inspected

- What can be done to help keep the vehicle in good condition
Refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations and to Maintenance Items for the proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to use. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before the vehicle is driven.
