Service Intervals Oil Change
Recommendation:
Every 7,500 - 10,000 miles (12,000 - 15,000 km) or 6-12 months, whichever comes first (check manual for specific engine oil).
Service Intervals Air Filter
Recommendation:
Inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km), replace as needed or at 30,000-45,000 miles (48,000-72,000 km).
Service Intervals Spark Plugs
Recommendation:
Replace approximately every 60,000 - 100,000 miles (96,000 - 160,000 km) depending on plug type (copper, platinum, iridium).
Service Intervals Timing Belt
Recommendation:
Critical component. Replace every 50,000 - 70,000 miles (80,000 - 112,000 km) or 5-7 years, as failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. Includes idler pulleys and tensioners.
Fluid Specifications Coolant
Type:
Ethylene Glycol based coolant. Use a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. Specify GM Dex-Cool or equivalent if applicable, consult manual.
Fluid Specifications Brake Fluid
Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Always use fresh, sealed fluid.
Engine Performance:
Potential for rough idle, misfires due to aging ignition components (spark plugs, wires), or fuel injector issues. Timing belt failure is a major concern if not replaced on schedule.
Transmission Shifting:
Automatic transmission can exhibit delayed shifting or harsh engagement if fluid is old or low, or if internal clutch packs are worn.
Electrical System:
Common issues can include aging battery, alternator, starter motor, or issues with power window regulators and central locking mechanisms. Wiring harness chafing can also occur.
Suspension Components:
Wear and tear on bushings, ball joints, and shock absorbers leading to knocking noises and poor handling.
Exhaust System:
Rusting and leaks in the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, and mufflers due to age and environmental factors.
