Engine Oil Additives

Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Geo dealer is ready

to advise if you think something should be added.

When to Change Engine Oil

If any one of these is true for

you,

use the short tripkity

maintenance schedule:

Most trips are less than

miles

km).

This is particularly important when outside

temperatures

are

below freezing.

Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent

driving in stop-and-go traffic).

Most trips are through dusty areas.

You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of

your vehicle.

The vehicle

used for delivery service, police, taxi

or other commercial application.

Driving under these conditions causes engine oil to

break down sooner. If any one of these is true for your

vehicle, then you need to change your oil and filter

every

3,000

miles

000

km)

months

whichever

occurs first.

If none of them is

true,

use the long triphighway

maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter every

7,500

miles (12

500

km)

or 12 months

whichever

occurs first. Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed

engine under highway conditions causes engine oil to

break down slower.

What to

with Used Oil

Did you know that used engine oil contains certain

elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could

even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin

for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and

water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw

away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See

the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal

of oil products.)

Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you

change your own oil,

sure to drain all free-flowing oil

from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose

oil

by putting

in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into

sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,

recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If

you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,

ask your dealer,

service station or a local recycling

center for help.
