Jeff D’Ambrosio Chevrolet – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Trax
Your Chevrolet® Trax rewards consistent care with dependable performance, confident handling, and long-term value. Because most model years share similar maintenance needs, a practical plan is easy to follow. Start with routine oil and filter changes that protect the turbocharged engine, plus tire rotations that even out wear and keep the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) readings consistent. Add brake inspections to stay ahead of pad wear and keep the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control operating at their best. For All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models, fluid checks for the differential and transfer case help ensure smooth traction through changing seasons in Oxford, PA. Fluids, filters, and software calibrations evolve by model year, so always consult your Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our team for details tailored to your VIN. To make it simple, follow the general guidelines below, then let our advisors fine-tune intervals based on how and where you drive — whether most trips are short city hops or longer highway stretches. If your Trax frequently tows light loads or carries full passengers and cargo, plan on the severe-service side of these ranges. When in doubt, ask for a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection to get a clear snapshot of what needs attention now and what can wait.
- Every 5,000-7,500 miles or 6-12 months: Engine oil and filter, tire rotation, brake and fluid check, top off washer fluid.
- Every 15,000 miles or annually: Cabin air filter, wiper blades, battery test, alignment check if pulling or uneven wear appears.
- Every 30,000 miles: Engine air filter, brake fluid test and exchange as needed, fuel system cleaning if drivability issues arise.
- Every 45,000 miles: Transmission service per model year, inspect AWD transfer case and rear differential fluids; replace if degraded.
- Every 60,000 miles or 5 years: Engine coolant exchange, inspect spark plugs and ignition components per model year guidance.
- Every 75,000-90,000 miles: Spark plugs if not previously replaced, serpentine drive belt inspection or replacement.
- At every visit: TPMS readout, StabiliTrak and ABS scan if warning lights appear, software updates, corrosion and leak check.
- Seasonally: Pre-winter battery and coolant readiness test, pre-summer A/C performance check and cabin filter refresh.
