How to Plan Your Chevy Equinox Maintenance Schedule

Like with any other new vehicle, maintaining your new Chevy Equinox is your responsibility. It may be time to line up your Chevy Equinox maintenance visits. Let’s take a look at some service tasks not to overlook!

Oil and Filter Changes

The importance of your vehicle’s oil cannot be understated. Your engine contains countless moving parts, and to ensure that these parts move smoothly, your vehicle’s oil and oil filters need to be changed every three months or every 3,000 miles.

Failure to check and change your vehicle’s oil can lead to even more costly repairs, so make sure to stay on top of your vehicle’s oil!

Tire Inspection and Rotation

Your tires are your vehicle’s first line of defense against adverse road conditions, so ensuring they’re healthy can truly be a lifesaver. You can inspect your tires on your own but having them rotated every six months or every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, whichever comes first, is absolutely essential.

Rotating your tires can not only save you money but also help prevent engine wear and tear in your Chevy Equinox.

Brake Check

Don’t let worn-down brake pads compromise you and your passenger’s safety, have your brakes checked to make sure they’re in working order. Depending on how you drive, your brake pads should be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 miles.

Your brake rotors are a different story, as they should be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. No matter what, your Chevy Equinox brakes should be inspected with every visit to the service center.

We recognize vehicle maintenance can be a confusing process, but we want to ensure that your new vehicle will last for years and years. So don’t wait, take your vehicle down to Kearny Mesa Chevrolet’s service center today for a vehicle check-up!
