These are some of the maintenance service milestones you’ll encounter while owning the Silverado 1500.
7,500 Miles
You’ll take your Silverado 1500 for scheduled maintenance service at 7,500-mile intervals. Our certified service technicians will perform several essential maintenance services during your first visit. Perhaps the most important service is an oil change. When the service technicians change your truck’s oil, they’ll flush out the old oil and replace it with fresh oil. This will help extend the life of the engine. The technicians will also check your vehicle’s battery for corrosion on the terminals and for loose cables.
Additionally, they’ll inspect your Silverado 1500’s tires and check for uneven wear. If the tires are wearing unevenly, it may signify the vehicle needs a wheel alignment. Finally, they’ll check the wipers to make sure the blades aren’t cracked or worn.
22,500 Miles
When your Silverado 1500 arrives at the 22,000-mile mark, the service technicians will change the engine air filter. If this part becomes clogged with dirt, you may notice reduced performance. The fuel filter is another part that will be inspected. This part usually needs to be replaced at 20,000 to 40,000 miles.
45,000 Miles
When the odometer reaches 45,000 miles, it will be time to change the truck’s brake fluid. This fluid lasts about three years, so be sure to replace it if your Silverado 1500 is more than three years old, even if you haven’t reached 45,000 miles.
97,500 Miles
At 97,500 miles, the service technicians will replace your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s spark plugs. Replacing the spark plugs at this time is recommended because although they are manufactured to last for years, they will wear out over time. Old spark plugs can cause problems like rough idling and weak acceleration. The technicians will also check the ignition wires for wear during this service visit.
150,000 Miles
At 150,000 miles, the Silverado’s accessory drive belts will be checked and replaced if necessary. This is important, as a broken drive belt can lead to a breakdown. The cooling system will be flushed during this visit because the coolant loses its rust-preventing properties over time.
Following your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s recommended maintenance schedule will help keep it in excellent operating condition and may prevent a host of problems. Call us to schedule your maintenance visit or if you have questions about your pickup’s maintenance schedule.
