In areas of the world other than North America, it may
be difficult to find oils that display the API
STARBURST symbol.
If you cannot find oils displaying the API STARBURST,
look for oils that meet the API Service SJ and
ACEA A3-96 requirements.
The recommended SAE engine oil viscosity is 5W-30,
however, additional engine oil viscosities meeting
the API Service SJ and ACEA A3-96 requirements
may be used in accordance with the temperature
ranges shown.
Accessory Drive Belt Inspection
Inspect the accessory drive belts for the following:
• Cracks
• Fraying
• Wear
• Proper te.nsion
Replace as needed. (A belt can develop many small
cracks in individual ribs without affecting the belt's
performance.) Refer to the following:
• Drive Belt Replacement in Engine
Mechanical - 3.8
L.
• Drive Belt Replacement - AccesSOJY' or Drive Belt
Replacement - A/C in Engine Mechanical - 5.7 L.
Cooling System Service
Important:
If silicate coolant is added to the cooling
system, premature engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion may result. In addition, the coolant will
require replacement much more frequently (every
50 000 km (30,000 miles) or 24 months.)
Drain, flush, and refill the system with a 50/50 mixture
of clean water (preferably distilled) and ONLY GM
Goodwrench® DEX-COOL® or Havoline® DEX-COOL®
(silicate-free) coolant. Refer to Draining and Filling
Cooling System (3.8 L) or Draining and Filling Cooling
System (5. 7 L) in Engine Cooling.
