Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

The Chevrolet Silverado is a full-size, full-time workaholic powerhouse, and to maintain its work schedule, it needs an owner that keeps up with Chevrolet Silverado 1500 service intervals. Chevy's great thing is that they let you know in your service manual just what specific schedule you'll need to keep up with. It's good to have a basic go-to Chevrolet Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule all in one place, though. That's what you'll find below. If you keep your service intervals, you'll see that your truck repays you with decades of faithful service.

7,500-Mile Service

Trucks are a little busier than cars or SUVs, so, naturally, they need regular maintenance earlier. Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule begins at around 7,500 miles. Here is the time to check tires and tire pressure, brake systems, fuel systems, and starter switches. Our service team will also keep an eye on accelerators and transmission fluids.

22,500-Mile Service

At 22,500 miles, trucks with 4WD functions will need fresh transfer case fluid. All trucks will need passenger compartment air filter replacement. Other than that, your Silverado 1500 is all set at this stage. Keep up with other regular maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations.

45,000-Mile Service

Important things happen to trucks at around this mileage. It's about this time that you'll need new automatic transmission fluid (and a new filter as well). You'll also need an engine air filter and fuel filter. New filters will ensure that your engine and other components are running solidly and not accumulating all the junk that can cause a breakdown later on. By far, one of the most common reasons for a mechanical breakdown is that someone has outright ignored their service schedule and left their poor Silverado 1500 to chug along on its own.

97,500-Mile Service

Your truck is nearing 100,000 miles, and with this milestone, it's important to replace your truck's spark plugs. Doing this is essential to keeping your Silverado 1500 rolling strong.
