🔧 Maintenance

Service Intervals

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 10,000 - 15,000 km or annually, depending on engine oil type and driving conditions (refer to manual for specifics).

Timing Belt Replacement:

Critical for non-interference engines (e.g., C20NE, C20XE, X20XEV). Interval usually around 60,000 - 80,000 km or 4-5 years. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage.

Fluid Specifications

Engine Oil:

API SG/SH, ACEA A2-96, SAE 10W-40 or 5W-40 (synthetic recommended for performance engines). Check manual for specific engine requirements.

Coolant:

Ethylene glycol based, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. GM specification coolant (e.g., Dex-Cool equivalent for later types, though earlier might use conventional green or blue coolant) is recommended.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 4 recommended for all models.

Transmission Fluid Auto:

GM Type II Dexron or equivalent automatic transmission fluid (ATF).

Known Issues

Rust And Corrosion:

Common issue in wheel arches, sills, and around the rear windows due to age and environmental exposure.

Suspension Wear:

Worn control arm bushings, ball joints, and rear trailing arm bushings can lead to poor handling and alignment issues.

Electrical Gremlins:

Faulty sensors (e.g., ABS sensors, MAF sensor), wiring loom issues, and corroded connectors can cause intermittent problems.

Gearbox Issues:

Clutch wear and hydraulic issues; some manual gearboxes can develop synchro wear or bearing noise. Automatic transmissions can suffer from valve body issues.

Head Gasket Leaks:

While not as common as some contemporaries, head gasket issues can occur, especially on the C20XE engine if overheated.
