Well, hello, Silverado. Now that you've just graduated to one of the biggest, baddest trucks in all of Saginaw, MI, it's time to get one thing straight. And that's your Chevy Silverado maintenance schedule. Because one way to ruin a good thing-is by not following your pickup truck's recommended schedule. If you want to keep your truck rockin' and rolling from Saginaw to Reese, MI, here's what you need to know.
Each auto manufacturer has recommended services for their vehicles. It's usually listed in the driver's manual. But, if you bought your Silverado used, it may not have a manual. Or, maybe you don't feel like scanning through the pages to see when your Silverado needs attention. Don't worry. Here's the Cliff's Notes.
Rain, sleet, or shine. It's best to bring your Silverado to our Chevy repair center every 7,500 miles. This is a general service that should happen a few times throughout the year. This is your general oil change and filter. In addition, it's customary to get your tires checked as well. That's rotation, wheel balancing, and alignment if needed.
Recommended Oil by Engine
At this time, you're roughly into you're second or third year of ownership. Now it's time to dig a little deeper into your truck at our certified Chevy service center. Tire rotation and oil change are included at this time. But there's also a need to check/replace your cabin air filter. This helps keep your cabin air clean by eliminating pollen, dirt, and dust that can seep through the ventilation system.
We hope you're still rocking and rolling with your Silverado. And since you made it this far, it's time to get underneath your hood. Our Chevy service experts will replace your cabin filter and passenger compartment air filter. Also, our professionals will check/replace your automatic transmission fluid and filter. In addition, if your vehicle has four-wheel drive, we'll also inspect/change your transfer case fluid. We'll also take a peek at your fuel and vapor lines and change your brake fluid/clutch fluid (if needed).
Now, our service technicians will get deeper into your vehicle. They'll get underneath the hood and inspect your spark plug wires and spark plug boots. This equipment might still be in good condition at this point, so this doesn't mean there's an automatic need for replacement. It's just a good rule of thumb to inspect these components this far into ownership.
