Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals
This vehicle is equipped with a GM Oil Life System™. The GM Oil
Life System™ will show when to change the engine oil and oil
filter. This will usually occur between 5 000 km (3,000 miles)
and 16 000 km (10,000 miles) since the last
oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on before
5 000 km (3,000 miles).
Never drive the vehicle more than 16 000 km (10,000 miles)
or 12 months without an oil and oil filter change. The system will not detect
dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area,
be sure to change the oil and oil filter every 5 000 km
(3,000 miles) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL SOON indicator comes
on. Reset the Oil Life System when the oil and filter have been changed.
This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. For description
and resetting information, refer to
GM Oil Life System Resetting
