GUARDIAN MAINTENANCE FOR OWNER PROTECTION
Importance of Protecting
Your Investment
Your purchase
of a
1970 Oldsmobile was
an important decision
- one that repre-
sented a sizable
investment.
Unquestion-
ably,
this
was a wise decision since you
have
selected a
fine
automobile
that,
with
reasonable care and
use,
will
give
you
many
years of safe,
dependable
service
and enjoyment.
Now
you are faced with another
decision
-
to
what extent are
you willing to pro-
tect
your
investment? This
should
not be
a difficult decision, but again
it
is
an
important one.
Only you can
make
certain
that
your car
receives the
care
it requires
to retain the
safety and
dependability
originally built
into
it.
Compared
to the
car of years past, your
new Oldsmobile
needs
only a
few
regular
maintenance
services. But because there are only a few,
do not minimize their importance. The
demands
placed on the
present day
auto-
mobile in
all of the varying conditions
of
traffic,
temperature,
high
speed operation,
etc.
make
it
more important than
ever
that
the car receives proper
maintenance.
For example,
regular
attention
to
engine
oil
is
essential.
The
oil
level must be
periodically
checked and oil added
when-
ever
needed.
Also,
the oil should
be
changed at
the
intervals specified
in
this
manual
with
the
proper quality
and vis-
cosity
of oil. If your engine should
run
excessively Iowan
oil or
if the
oil
has
lost
its lubricating
qualities
be<::ause of
old
age,
serious engine damage could occur -
dam-
age
that
would not
be
covered
under the
New
Vehicle
Warranty.
It
is
also
important that the
safety
related
components of your car
be
checked
regu-
larly.
For example, the exhaust system
should be
looked
at
whenever
your car
is
on the
hoist for an
oil
change and correc-
tion made
to any
defects
noted.
If leaks
in the
system are ignored, exhaust fumes
could possibly seep
into the passenger
compartment resulting in serious
conse-
quences
to the occupants.
All
of
the
recommended
maintenance items
for
your
Oldsmobile
arC
discussed in this
section
of this
manual
and summarized
in
the
"Maintenance Schedule" presented on
page
50. In addition,
be
sure to read
the
colored supplement entitled "Maintaining
Safety
and Dependability"
for tips
on
keeping
your car
in
optimum condition.

Guardian Maintenance
Service
The
quality of
maintenance
your
new
car
receives
is as important as the regularity
with which
it
is
serviced.
The

program has been
developed by Oldsmobile Division in
co-
operation
with Oldsmobile Dealers to
provide
nationwide
quality

customer
service.
The program
includes the
training
of
dealer technicians at General Motors
Training Center
throughout the country
and
is
supported
with
a continuous
follow-
up
of

and other
service
information.
The use of
genuine
General
Motors
parts
and accessories,
which
have
the same
high quality
standards as
original
equipment
parts,
and
the use
of
Oldsmo-
bile approved
tools developed
and
tested
for use
by
Oldsmobile
Dealers also con-
tribute
to the high quality
of
Guardian
1v[aintenance Service.
