One of the most critical Chevy Silverado maintenance items is the routine oil change. Every 7,500 miles, the oil needs to be fully drained and replaced with fresh oil, and the oil filter needs to be replaced so it can effectively filter out contaminants. It is unwise to skip this service because dirty oil or a clogged filter can damage the engine.
In addition to an oil change, your truck’s tires will be rotated every 7,500 miles. Additionally, wheel balancing and alignment might be performed if your technician deems it necessary.
After 22,500 miles on the roads and highways near Rock Hill, SC, it’s time to bring your truck in for some filter replacements. First, the cabin air filter will be replaced so you can enjoy fresh air inside your truck. Next, the fuel filter will be examined. The fuel filter will be replaced if it’s dirty.
The engine air filter needs to be replaced at least every 45,000 miles. If you experience poor acceleration or you find yourself fueling up more often, these are signs the engine air filter needs a change. Trucks with automatic transmissions will also need to have their transmission fluid replaced at this point.
By this point, your spark plugs should be replaced. If you leave the old spark plugs in too long, you’ll start to experience rough idling, difficult start-ups, and poor fuel economy.
After 150,000 miles, your coolant must be flushed. When the quality of coolant deteriorates, so too does its ability to protect against oxidation-forming rust on the engine components. Additionally, the engine accessory belts need to be checked at this point. If one of the belts is compromised, it will eventually snap and lead to a breakdown on the road.
