Chevrolet Equinox Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Equinox?

Your Chevy Equinox must be maintained according to recommendations by Chevrolet. You can find your Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule in the owner's manual that you get when you purchase your car. The owner's manual acts as a helpful guide that tells you the exact Chevrolet Equinox service intervals that your car requires and the services that need to be done at each mileage-based checkpoint. For Equinox, service starts at 15,000 miles, although your vehicle will need to have at least one oil change before then. When booking service for your car, be sure to follow the mileage-based recommendations in your car's manual for your vehicle's optimal health.

15,000 Mile Service

When your Chevy Equinox hits 15,000 miles, it will be due for the first in a series of services. The oil will be changed at 15,000 miles, and the engine's filter will be replaced. A Chevy technician will also rotate your car's tires if necessary. Our mechanics will perform a visual inspection of the tires to look at their wear patterns and tread depth. The car may also have an alignment at 15,000 miles.

30,000 Mile Service

At the 30,000-mile point, your Chevrolet will have the quality and quantity of its oil evaluated. The oil will be replaced, and a mechanic may change the engine's filter to keep clean air moving through the engine and its components. The air filter located in the car's cabin may be replaced at this point. A Chevy mechanic will also perform a multi-point inspection to check the car's wipers and lights for safety. The hoses, belts, and all significant connections will be checked as well. The engine air cleaner filter may also be changed.

60,000 Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, your Chevy will be due for additional services. The tires will get checked at 60,000 miles and rotated again if necessary based on their wear pattern. The Equinox will have its spark plugs replaced at 60,000 miles, and the spark plug wires will also be checked. The transfer case fluid and automatic transmission fluid will also be replaced at this point. The brake fluid gets replaced at 60,000 miles, along with the evaporative control system. If your Equinox has an automatic transmission, the transmission fluid and filter may be replaced at 60,000 miles.

90,000 Mile Service

When your Chevy reaches 90,000 miles, it will have the engine coolant drained and refilled. The engine accessory drive belts get inspected for wear and fraying. The tires will be rotated, and the car's brakes and braking system components are inspected.
