Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 service intervals rank as one of the essential bits of information you'll ever learn about your truck. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule is the holy grail of responsible ownership. It's a series of actions you can take to protect your truck from time and the elements that gradually wear down performance. When you follow this schedule, you own a better truck for as long as it's yours. Your service manual explains service schedules further and is the official list of service times. Always consult it to be sure, as every trim can be different from others.

7,500-Mile Service

Early in your truck's life, you'll want to make sure that the basics are taken care of. Your certified auto mechanic will keep tires rotated, and oil changed. Other systems - such as the brake, fuel, or exhaust system - will also be visually inspected to ensure that it's all systems go. These early checks are the start of a long life with our Silverado 1500.

22,500-Mile Service

Filters are a vital part of your truck's performance and help to protect so many components. At 22,500 miles, you'll potentially need to replace a passenger compartment air filter. If you have a 4WD, you might also need to replenish transfer case fluid. Your friendly auto mechanic here will take care of the whole thing for you.

45,000-Mile Service

Forty-five thousand miles is a pretty far journey in truck years. It means that your model is in this for the long haul, and it would appreciate it if you replaced a few of its fluids and filters at this time. You'll usually need to replace an automatic transmission filter at this time (and grab some fresh fluids for your transmission). Other noteworthy services at this juncture include engine air filter and fuel filter replacement. Your engine is the heart of your truck. It's vital to keep a clean air filter in there if you plan to have your truck for a very long time.

97,500-Mile Service

At 97,500 miles, you'll want to have a visual inspection of your spark plugs and then have them replaced if - as expected - they need to be. Your truck has been busy over the years. Treat it to some fresh plugs.
