Scheduled Maintenance

When the Change Oil Soon message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) comes on, it means
that service is required for your vehicle. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible within the
next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you
are driving under the best conditions, the engine
oil life system may not indicate that vehicle service
is necessary for over a year. However, your
engine oil and filter must be changed at least once
a year and at this time the system must be
reset. Your GM Goodwrench
GM-trained service technicians who will perform
this work using genuine GM parts and reset
the system.

If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle within
3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service.
Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. See Engine Oil Life System on
page 328 for information on the Engine Oil Life
System and resetting the system.
When the Change Oil Soon message appears,
certain services, checks, and inspections are
required. Required services are described in the
following for "Maintenance I" and "Maintenance II."
Generally, it is recommended that your first
service be Maintenance I, your second service be
Maintenance II, and that you alternate
Maintenance I and Maintenance II thereafter.
However, in some cases, Maintenance II may be
required more often.
