RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE FOR PEmonlc
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
The time or mileage intervals on the following pages are intended as a guide for establishing regular maintenance and
lubrication periods for your car. Sustained heavy duty or high speed operations or operation under adverse conditions may
necessitate more frequent servicing. To determine specific recommendations for conditions under which you use your car,
consult your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer.
Engine Oil Change Interval
Change oil each 4 months. If more
than 6,000 miles are driven in a
4-month period, change oil each 6,000
miles.
In certain types of service including
operation under dusty conditions,
trailer hauling, extensive idling, ser-
vice where the operation is primarily
10-mile or shorter trips, or PRO-
LONGED OPERATION AT SUB-
ZERO TEMPERATURE, OIL
CHANGE INTERVALS SHOULD
NOT EXCEED 2 MONTHS, OR 3,000
MILES, whichever occurs first. Op-
eration in dust storms may require
an immediate change of oil. See your
Chevrolet dealer for advice on the
frequency of oil and filter changes
under unusual driving conditions.
The above recommendations apply
to the First change as well as sub-
sequent oil changes. The oil change
interval for your Chevrolet engine is
based on the use of oils that meet the
requirements indicated in the section
on "Engine Oil Recommendations."
Oil change intervals longer than those
listed above will result in serious re-
ductions in engine life and may affect
Chevrolet obligation under the pro-
visions of the new vehicle warranty.
A high quality MS oil meeting Gen-
eral Motors Standard GM 6041-M was
installed in your engine at the factory.
It is not necessary to change this
factory-installed oil prior to the
recommended normal change period.
However, the oil level should be
checked more frequently during the
break-in period since somewhat
e4
higher oil consumption is normal until
the piston rings become seated.
