The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Service Schedule

If you want your Chevy Silverado 1500 to stay in top shape for a long time, you need to make sure that you’re sticking to a routine maintenance schedule. Lucky for you, the mechanics here at Kearny Mesa Chevrolet are ready to assist you with all of your Chevrolet Silverado service needs.

Here are some service milestones to keep in mind.

7,500 Miles

This is the first major maintenance milestone. You could need a variety of services, including:

• Oil change
• A new engine oil filter
• Battery inspection
• Wiper check
• Tire inspection
• Tire rotation

Most of these will be repeated at your future service appointments.

22,500 Miles

At this point, you might need a new engine air filter. This component could last for another few thousand miles but inspecting it at this mileage is a smart idea, just in case this crucial part has worn down faster than expected.

45,000 Miles

Your brake fluid may need to be replaced at this mileage. Also be aware that this fluid generally needs to be replaced every three years. If you drive fewer miles than the typical driver, you might end up needing to schedule a service appointment before your odometer hits the 45,000-mile mark.

97,500 Miles

Your spark plugs probably need to be replaced by this point. Our mechanics can inspect the electrical system of your truck for any damage.

150,000 Miles

At this point, you’ll need new coolant and some other fluids, like brake fluid, may need to be flushed and replaced as well. We’ll also inspect drive belts for any damage. You don’t want to drive around in a vehicle with worn-out belts because you could end up breaking down.
