At Least Once A Year; Key Lock Cylinders Service; Underbody Flushing Service - Chevrolet 2009 Kodiak Owner's Manual

Fluid Leaks Check
Check for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after it has
been parked for awhile.
Underbody Inspection
Corrosive materials used for ice, snow removal, and dust
control can collect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur
on underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan,
and exhaust system. At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with plain water. Take care
to clean well any areas where mud and other debris can
collect. Sediment packed in closed areas of the frame
should be loosened before being flushed.
Engine Cover Check
Check that the cab's engine cover and seal, if the
vehicle has one, are not torn or damaged. Be sure that
the cover is clamped down firmly to the floor.
