Maintenance Tips

- Engine oil and filter should be replaced every 3000 miles. Use only SG, SF/CC, or SF/CD oil with the recommended SAE 5W30 viscosity. Use the following oil filters:

84-87 - 25010908 PF 51
88 - 25012305 PF 1072 (Internal Filter)

- The air cleaner element should be replaced every 15,000 miles or 24 months (9,000 miles or 12 months if operating in dusty areas). Use only AC Type 913C air filter with foam wrap, GM part # 25043317. NO Substitutes.

- Coolant should always be a 50/50 mixture of a correct antifreeze which meets GM Specification 1825-M.

- The proper coolant level on the coolant recovery tank is FULL, when the engine is at its normal operating temperature (about 195-230 degrees Fahrenheit).

- On the inside of the rear deck lid there should be a Campaign Correction Label showing completion of Campaign 84-C-15 for 1984 vehicles and 87-C-11 for 1985-87 vehicles. If it is not there, inform the customer that their car has an outstanding recall on it and refer them to their Pontiac dealer.
