Scheduled Maintenance - Chevrolet 2002 S10 Pickup Owner's Manual

Scheduled Maintenance

Short Trip/City Definition
Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance if
any one of these conditions is true for your vehicle:
D
Most trips are less than 5 miles (8 km). This is
particularly important when outside temperatures
are below freezing.
D
Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent
- -
driving in stop and go traffic).
D
Your vehicle has the 2200 L4 (Code 5) flexible
fuel engine and you have used ethanol fuel
-
(85% Ethanol/E 85).
D
You frequently tow a trailer.
D
If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi
or other commercial application.
One of the reasons you should follow this schedule
if you operate your vehicle under any of these conditions
is that these conditions cause engine oil to break
down sooner.
