Where to find the general maintance?

I looked everywhere in my owners manual and i cannot find all the proper maintance to be done. Nowhere for the axle fluids to be replaced. When to replace the manual tranny fluid, when to do the brake fluids, when to replace the belts.


How do i know when to do all this if there is no info on it lol. My car is an 07 cobalt SS with 52,000 kilometres on it

Your deal will have one hanging in the service department.
And they will be ready to remove any extra green backs from your wallet for these thing you can get done cheaper somewhere else or do your self.

I dont get the dealer to service my stuff. But i dont even know how often you are required to do the tranny fluid, the fuel filter, spark plugs, belts, any of that. Why would this not be listed in the manual..


Also sorry wrong wording, not axle fluid, dont know why i said that lol

There is a chart in there. I know it has fuel filter, spark plugs, and checking the belts for cracks. i don't know where, and don't really want to walk outside to find it, but keep looking. It's towards the back.

Spark plugs and fuel filters from 35 to 50k

belts need to be checked for wear and tear

fuel filter is recommended at 30000 miles, I don't know what that translates to for you. Spark plugs are closer to 50 or 60 IIRC

Just make sure you change your muffler bearings, elbow grease, and blinker fluid promptly ever 1.5 million miles.

I didn't do mine until 43000 miles. Upon changing it, I noticed approximately 0% change in fuel mileage or performance I wouldn't worry.

The flux capacitor must also be calibrated at 100k
