Every 7,500 miles
Your first Chevy Equinox service appointment is due when your odometer reaches 7,500 miles. The key step is to get your motor oil changed in order to keep your Chevy's engine clean, well-lubricated and protected from friction. In addition, we can change your oil filter at the same time. It's also a great idea to rotate your tires every time you get your oil changed. That helps reduce tread wear and allows your tires to wear more evenly so they last longer.
Every 15,000 miles
In addition to getting a regular oil and filter change along with a tire rotation, this is the time when your windshield wiper blades may be worn down. You'll be able to tell if they begin to leave streaks on your windshield or even scrape across the glass. You can help your windshield wiper blades last longer by cleaning your windshield as often as possible.
Every 22,500 miles
Clean air inside your cabin is helpful for your health and your comfort, especially when you spend quite a few miles in your Chevy Equinox. You can keep the atmosphere inside your Equinox clean and fresh by having us replace the passenger compartment air filter every 22,500 miles. Of course, you'll also want us to do the oil and filter change and the tire rotation that come with every 7,500-mile interval.
Every 30,000 miles
Besides the regular 7,500-mile maintenance tasks like an oil and filter change and a tire rotation, this is the point when some Chevy Equinox models need extra attention. If you're driving the turbodiesel Equinox model, it's time to have us replace the diesel fuel filter to help the engine keep performing at its best.
Every 45,000 miles
When your Chevy Equinox reaches 45,000 miles, it's time to have us replace the engine air cleaner filter. An air cleaner filter change will help keep the engine compartment free of harmful debris. In addition, your Chevy mechanic will also want to take a look at the evaporative control system in your Equinox. That device prevents excess vapors from coming out of your fuel tank.
Every 60,000 miles
On top of the oil and filter change and the tire rotation that comes with every 7,500-mile interval, this is the time to replace the spark plugs in your compact Chevy crossover. The spark plugs provide ignition for your vehicle so when they aren't working properly, you won't be able to drive. Ask your mechanic to also take a look at the spark plug wires and consider replacing them if needed.
Every 75,000 miles
Along with all the regular maintenance items that you'll be doing every 7,500 miles, the 75,000-mile mark is the time to have your mechanic replace the hood and body lift support gas struts in your Equinox.
Every 150,000 miles
To help your Chevy Equinox continue running reliably, this is the point when your engine cooling system should be flushed and refilled. That will help prevent your Equinox from overheating. The 150,000-mile checkpoint is also the time to have your Chevy mechanic inspect and adjust accessory drive belts that might have slipped or worn down.
