FRONT FOG LIGHTS
The front fog lights are mounted on the rear of 
the front bumpers and are shielded from behind 
by the lower wheelarch liners.
Access is severely restricted and will entail lying 
beneath the centre of the vehicle at the front and 
reaching between the wheelarch liner and the 
back of the fog light.
To access the bulb, remove the cover on the 
rear of the fog light by twisting it anti-clockwise.Spring clips (similar to those in the headlights) 
hold the bulb in place. Unhook the clips to 
release the bulb from the light unit, then pull the 
bulb from the connector. Because access and 
vision are severely restricted (these operations 
must be carried out largely by ‘feel’), it may be 
helpful to first examine the way in which similar 
spring clips in the headlight unit retain the 
headlight bulb.
Before fitting the replacement bulb, note the 
‘flat’ on the otherwise circular shape of the bulb 
mounting flange. The flat acts as a key to enable 
correct positioning of the bulb in the light unit.
NOTE: Do not touch the bulb glass with your 
fingers.  If necessary, clean the bulb with 
isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

GLOVEBOX LIGHT
Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver 
(preferably with a short handle, due to limited 
access) into the indent (arrowed in illustration) 
on the left hand side of the light unit, and 
carefully prise the unit from the glovebox panel.  
Remove the bulb from its clips.
INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the 
indent on the side of the lens and carefully prise 
the lens from the light unit, then pull the bulb to 
remove. 
When replacing the lens, first locate the lug 
(arrowed in illustration), then push the lens into 
position.

Recommendations for all climates and conditions.
NOTE: Recommended oils are complete in themselves and additives should not be used.
NOTE: It is essential to change oil much more frequently if the vehicle is operated under severe 
conditions, especially if deep wading is carried out.
Engine oil
Use a 5W/30, 5W/40 or 10W/40 oil meeting API service level SG,SH or SJ and having a viscosity 
band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.
Engine oil temperature ranges
5W/30 will protect from -22 ºF (-30 ºC) to 95 ºF (35 ºC).
5W/40 will protect from -22 ºF (-30 ºC) tp 122 ºF (50 ºC).
10W/40 will protect from 14 ºF (-10 ºC) to 122 ºF (50 ºC).
Automatic gearbox
Use ATF Dexron III.
Transfer gearbox
API GL5MTI fully synthetic - 75W/90R.
Axles 
API GL5MTI fully synthetic - 75W/90R.
Power steering and ACE
Texaco Cold Climate PAS fluid 14315 - GM Part No.12345866, 12345867 (amber colour)
Brake reservoir
‘Shell Donax YB’ brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specification. If this fluid is not available use a 
universal brake fluid or any brake fluid having a minimum boiling point of 500°F (260°C) and 
complying with FMVSS 116 DOT4.
Windscreen washers
Windscreen washer solvent.
Engine cooling system
Use Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC), or any ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no 
methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT) corrosion inhibitors.  Use one part anti-freeze 
to one part water for protection down to -33°F (-36° C) .
