Scheduled Maintenance - Pontiac G3 2010 Owner's Manual

The proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to
use are listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 7 12 and Maintenance Replacement Parts on
page 7 14. We recommend the use of genuine parts
from your dealer/retailer.
Rotation of New Tires
To maintain ride, handling, and performance of the
vehicle, it is important that the first rotation service for
new tires be performed when they have 8 000 to
13 000 km (5,000 to 8,000 miles). See Tire Inspection
and Rotation on page 6 61.

Scheduled Maintenance

When the Change Engine Oil Light
Displays
Change engine oil and filter. See Engine Oil on
page 6 15. An Emission Control Service.
When the change engine oil light displays, service is
required for the vehicle as soon as possible, within the
next 1 000 km/600 miles. If driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system might not indicate
the need for vehicle service for more than a year. The
engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a
year and the oil life system must be reset. Your dealer/
retailer has trained service technicians who will perform
this work and reset the system. If the engine oil life
system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle within
5 000 km/3,000 miles since the last service. Reset the
oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See Engine
Oil Life System on page 6 18.
When the change engine oil light displays, certain
services, checks, and inspections are required. The
services described for Maintenance should be
performed at every engine oil change. The services
described for Maintenance
performed when:
Maintenance was performed the last time the
engine oil was changed.
It has been 10 months or more since the change
engine oil light has displayed or since the last
service.
