Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically 12 months or 15,000 km (9,320 miles), whichever comes first. Always consult the specific vehicle's owner's manual or this workshop manual for the most accurate intervals.
|
Transmission Fluid Interval:
|
Automatic transmission fluid changes are often recommended around 100,000 km (62,000 miles) or based on driving conditions. Manual transmissions may have different intervals for inspection or fluid replacement.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Specification:
|
For petrol engines: SAE 5W-30 or 0W-40 meeting GM dexos1™ or API SN specifications. For LPG (LWR): Specific engine oil suitable for LPG-fueled engines. Always verify with the manual.
|
Coolant Specification:
|
GM-specific coolant (e.g., Dex-Cool), typically a long-life orange ethylene glycol-based coolant. Part Number examples: GM12345727 or equivalent.
|
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
|
Dexron VI (or compatible equivalent) for 6-speed automatics (6L45, 6L50, 6L80, 6L90). Part Number examples: GM19256445 or equivalent.
|
Transmission Fluid Manual:
|
Specific manual transmission fluid required, likely a GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil. Refer to the manual for exact viscosity and specification.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Suspension components (bushings, ball joints, struts), ignition coils and spark plugs (especially on V8s), water pumps, and sometimes transmission solenoids or mechatronic units in automatic transmissions can be wear items.
|
Lpg Specific Issues:
|
For the LWR LPG engine, issues related to the LPG system itself, such as vaporiser leaks, injector problems, or fuel switching malfunctions, can occur.
