Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Chevrolet of Bucyrus – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 works hard, and a clear, easy-to-follow maintenance plan keeps it ready for every haul, commute, and weekend project. The Owner’s Manual and the truck’s Oil Life Monitoring System are your primary guides, adjusting recommendations based on how you drive — from towing and idling to dusty job sites. As your local truck specialists in Bucyrus, we make staying on schedule simple with Certified Service, GM Genuine Parts, and detailed records you can reference at any time. At Chevrolet of Bucyrus, our advisors translate factory guidance into a personalized plan that matches your engine, drivetrain, mileage, and usage. Every visit includes a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection to catch small issues before they become big repairs, plus transparent recommendations you can prioritize around your calendar. Pro tip: keep maintenance tied to milestones you already remember — seasonal changes, registration renewals, or tire rotations — so nothing slips through the cracks. While most Silverado 1500 model years share similar service fundamentals, intervals can vary by engine, model year, and duty cycle. Always consult your Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our team for current details, Technical Service Bulletins, and recall checks specific to your VIN.

1. Every 7,500 miles or OLM alert: Change oil and filter, rotate tires, inspect brakes and all fluids.
2. 15,000 miles or 12 months: Replace cabin air filter, check alignment, inspect engine air filter and wipers.
3. 30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter as needed, service 4×4 transfer case/axle fluids if towing.
4. 45,000 miles: Exchange brake fluid, inspect cooling system and hoses, balance tires, perform MPVI.
5. 60,000 to 75,000 miles: Transmission service for severe use; inspect suspension, steering, and driveshafts.
6. Around 100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs and coolant, inspect serpentine belt, test battery and charging system.

Between services, walk around your truck monthly — check tire pressure and tread, look for fluid spots under the vehicle, and listen for new noises on a short test drive. If you tow, plow, idle extensively, or drive in dust and extreme temperatures, consider “severe service” intervals and shorten the gaps above accordingly. Our Certified Service technicians use factory procedures and diagnostic tools to verify when items truly need attention, helping you avoid both over- and under-maintenance. We can also align service with accessory installs, tire replacements, or seasonal prep to save you time. Recommendations here are general guidelines — for exact intervals and fluids, always follow the Owner’s Manual and consult the manufacturer or our advisors.
