When should I come in for Chevrolet G30 differential service?

Can you reset your G30’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your G30, but it's important to resist the urge.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1987 Chevrolet G30

Your G30 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Chevrolet, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Chevrolet G30, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Chevrolet's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
