2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
 

Congratulations! You’re the proud owner of a brand-new Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup truck. Whether you need it for San Luis Obispo job sites or property management near Santa Maria. You’ll want to take care of the truck that takes care of you, which is why you need to know everything about the Chevy Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule.

 

 

Find out more about the Chevy Silverado 1500 recommended service interval with our guide. The general rule is to bring your pickup truck in for service every 7,500 miles.

Every 7,500 Miles for Oil Changes & Tire Rotations

The Chevy Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule starts at 7,500 miles or around six to eight months. The 7,500-mile figure represents your Silverado 1500’s oil change interval. Some trims come with a hand “Change Engine Oil Soon” message feature. When this appears, be sure to bring your truck in for service within the next 600 miles.

Every 15,000 Miles: New Windshield Wiper Blades

At this interval (or at least once a year), you’ll want to have your windshield wiper blades replaced. With a fresh set of wiper blades, you’ll be ready for whatever the weather throws your way.

Your windshield wiper blades may need to be replaced sooner than one year. Look for these signs you need new wiper blades:

  • Broken or cracked rubber
  • Streaking or film on your windshield
  • Unusual sound when in use

Replacing wiper blades is easy. We carry some at our parts center, or you can have our service technicians perform this maintenance for you.

Every 22,500 Miles: Engine and Cabin Air Filters, Plus More

After you’ve hit 22,500 miles or two years, whichever comes first, it’s time to bring your Chevy Silverado 1500 back to our service center.

The tire rotation and oil change will be completed again, but we’ll also replace the passenger compartment air filter. This filter keeps contaminants out, such as pollen, dirt, and dust.

Every 45,000 Miles: Other Vital Fluids

Your Chevy Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule includes intervals for replacing vital fluids in your engine. We’ll also replace a few other items here. You may also need new tires or new brake pads at this time because those components may have a lot of wear since you bought your new vehicle from us.

  • Replace the engine air cleaner filter.
  • Replace the passenger compartment air filter.
  • Change automatic transmission fluid and filter.
  • Change transfer case fluid, if equipped with 4-wheel drive.

Along with these services, your Chevy service technician will inspect the evaporative control system. This includes visually checking all the fuel and vapor lines as well as the hoses to make sure they are correctly attached and in good working condition. We’ll do these services again at 90,000 miles.

Every 60,000 Miles: Spark Plugs

If you have a Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 2.7L L4 Turbo engine under the hood, then you’ll want to have a service technician replace the spark plugs at this Chevy Silverado 1500 service interval. The technician will also look over the spark plug wires and spark plug boots, if applicable.

Every 75,000 Miles: Hood Gas Struts & Tailgate Dampener

At this point, you’ll have gone on plenty of adventures in your Silverado 1500. Either every 75,000 miles or every 10 years, your Chevy service technician should replace the hood gas struts and tailgate dampener.

Every 150,000 Miles: Engine Cooling System

You and your pickup truck have been on many, many adventures together. At this mileage interval, or once every five years (whichever comes first), have the engine cooling system drained and refilled.

The service technician will also visually inspect the accessory drive belts at this interval or every 10 years. The technician will look for fraying, cracking, and other damage.
