General information about maintenance (Chevrolet Lumina 1)

This chapter provides recommendations for independent maintenance of Chevrolet Lumina, Pontiac Trans Sport and Oldsmobile Silhouette APV vehicles, which is necessary to ensure maximum performance, fuel economy, safety and reliability.

The chapter provides a maintenance schedule and describes the work for each item on the schedule. There is a description of checks, adjustments, parts replacement operations and other useful information. Refer to the accompanying illustrations of the engine compartment and undercarriage to locate the locations of the various components.

Many operations can and should be performed together. For example, if the vehicle is already raised, it is necessary to check the exhaust system, suspension, steering and fuel system, since all components are accessible. When rotating wheels, it makes sense to check the brakes. And if you are working with a torque wrench and you only need to tighten spark plugs, you can also check the tightening quality of many fasteners.

Before performing any maintenance work on your vehicle, carefully read the description of the work, then collect all the necessary parts and tools. If you feel that you are having difficulty performing any operation on your own, seek advice from a mechanic or a more experienced driver.
