Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Whether you use your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for work, play, or both, you inevitably ask a lot of your truck every time you drive. To ensure that your truck and its components last as long as possible, following the Chevy Silverado maintenance schedule is essential for optimal performance. Your Chevrolet Silverado service schedule is located in the owner's manual of your truck. The owner's manual provides the most accurate mileage-based service for the Silverado, depending on your particular trim and model year. If your truck is approaching its next service schedule mark, contact a certified mechanic for an appointment.

7,500-Mile Service

Your Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule starts with a comprehensive inspection of the braking and mechanical systems. Both can wear out more quickly with a larger vehicle. At 7,500 miles, your Silverado will have the tires and tire pressure checked. The tires may also be rotated if necessary. The truck's brakes are inspected at this point, along with the fuel and exhaust systems. A Chevrolet mechanic will make sure the starter switch is in good shape and check the gas strut as well. The ignition transmission lock will be inspected, along with the shift lock control, if your Silverado comes with an automatic transmission. A mechanic will look at the accelerator pedal for your Silverado, along with the parking brake.

22,500-Mile Service

The next mileage-based Silverado service checkup for the Silverado 1500 takes place at 22,500 miles. Your truck may get its oil changed, and the tires rotated during this checkup. The air filter in the passenger's compartment will be replaced as well. If your vehicle has a four-wheel drive, a mechanic will replace the transfer case fluid, too. For 2021 Silverado maintenance, this service interval is particularly important to maintain optimal performance.

45,000-Mile Service

At 45,000 miles, following the Chevrolet Silverado maintenance schedule, a mechanic will likely replace the air filters in your truck. That includes the engine air filter, ensuring your engine has an adequate supply of clean air, and the fuel filter. The transmission fluid and transmission filter may also be replaced at this point if your Chevy has an automatic transmission. This service interval is crucial whether you have a new model or are following the 2021 Chevy Silverado maintenance schedule.

97,500-Mile Service

Your Chevrolet Silverado will need additional service and maintenance as it approaches the Silverado 100k mile maintenance mark. At 97,500 miles, the Silverado may be due for its next oil change and tire rotation. The spark plugs will likely be replaced at this point, too. Our Silverado service schedule recommendations ensure your truck continues to perform at its best even as it accumulates mileage.
