Jeff D’Ambrosio Chevrolet – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Your Chevrolet® Silverado 1500 is engineered to haul, tow, and conquer daily miles, but it performs best when maintenance is planned, proactive, and tailored to how you drive. Whether you use your truck for weekend projects, long highway commutes, or frequent towing, conditions like short trips, dusty roads, winter salt, and heavy loads can shift service intervals. To simplify ownership, follow the Owner’s Manual and the Oil Life Monitoring System for oil changes, then use the guide below to round out care between alerts. At Jeff D’Ambrosio Chevrolet, we align factory guidance with real-world inspections, GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco components, and Certified Service expertise, so you can count on consistent performance, braking confidence, and tire life without guesswork here in Oxford, PA. We back every visit with a multi-point inspection that checks fluids, brakes, suspension, tires, and battery health, and we document findings so you know what is urgent now and what is coming up next. If you upfit your truck, tow regularly, or drive off-road, our advisors will customize severe-service recommendations and set reminders that fit your schedule. Below is a practical, model-year-friendly checklist most Silverado 1500 owners can use as a baseline—always confirm specifics for your engine, drivetrain, and build.
- At each Oil Life Monitoring System alert or about 7,500 miles/12 months: Change engine oil and filter, rotate tires, inspect brakes, top off fluids, and reset the monitor.
- Every 15,000 miles: Replace cabin air filter, inspect battery and terminals, check wiper blades, and clean brake hardware as needed.
- Every 22,500 miles: Replace engine air filter, inspect induction and fuel system, and check PCV function if equipped.
- Every 30,000 miles: Inspect brake fluid condition, steering and suspension, and service 4WD transfer case fluid if towing or off-road driving is frequent.
- Every 45,000 miles: Replace brake fluid, inspect or service automatic transmission fluid under severe duty, and perform an alignment check.
- Every 60,000 miles: Inspect cooling system and hoses, exchange coolant as specified, and service front/rear differential fluids for trucks that tow or use 4WD regularly.
- Every 90,000–100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs and related ignition components as specified for your engine, inspect or replace serpentine belt, and refresh coolant if not done earlier.
- At every visit: Perform a comprehensive multi-point inspection, verify tire pressures, update maintenance records, and review any open service bulletins.
To make upkeep effortless, follow three simple steps: monitor, schedule, and document. First, let the Oil Life Monitoring System guide oil changes while you visually check tires, lights, and fluid levels between visits. Next, schedule seasonally to stay ahead of weather changes—alignments and tire rotations before long trips, battery tests before winter, and brake checks before towing season. Finally, keep records of each service so future diagnostics and warranty considerations are straightforward. Our Certified Service team handles the essentials—oil changes, tire services and alignments, brake repair, batteries, and fluid exchanges—plus diagnostics for ABS, 4WD, and StabiliTrak systems. We use GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco components to help preserve performance, longevity, and resale value. Because intervals vary by model year, engine, and usage, always consult your Owner’s Manual or contact our advisors for details. Ready to keep your truck at its best?
