Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Service Intervals

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Maintenance Schedule

Auto maintenance often receives more attention as a vehicle gets older, but the best time to start focusing on maintenance is as soon as you take ownership of it. As is the case with all Chevy vehicles, the Silverado 1500 has a customized maintenance schedule designed to optimize the truck's life, minimize repairs and promote excellent performance. To enjoy the full benefits of auto maintenance, however, you will need to give your truck proper attention at the scheduled intervals recommended by the automaker.

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

The specific Chevrolet Silverado 1500 service intervals may vary somewhat across the model years and the trims. While you can use this maintenance schedule as a loose guideline, you should review your truck's owner's manual and consult with our service center's technicians for exact recommendations.

7,500-Mile Service

Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will still look and feel like new with only 7,500 miles on the odometer, but many of the components and systems have already endured exceptional wear and stress. A thorough review of the brake system, fuel system, and exhaust system will ensure that the truck continues to operate well going forward. At this time, you should also check the tire tread and air pressure, and the tires should be rotated. Other equipment that requires professional attention includes the accelerator pedal, the ignition transmission lock, the gas strut, the starter switch, and the auto transmission shift lock control function.

22,500-Mile Service

When your Silverado 1500's odometer approaches the 22,500-mile mark, you should drop by our service center for a few essential services. The passenger compartment's air filter should be replaced at this time if this has not already been done. If your truck has a four-wheel drive drivetrain, the transfer case fluid needs to be replaced as well.

45,000-Mile Service

At 45,000 miles, the Chevy Silverado 1500 requires a few replacement parts. These include a new engine air filter and a new fuel filter. Your truck's automatic transmission will also need a filter replacement and fluid change.

97,500-Mile Service

If you have been keeping up with your Silverado 1500's maintenance needs regularly, you may appreciate its consistent reliability and performance capabilities. At 97,500, the spark plugs should be replaced by our dealership's technicians.
