The Sedona Chevrolet dealership recommends some services be done every 7,500 miles. It’s especially important to get an oil change. This is one of the easiest ways to prevent premature engine wear and tear. Fortunately, Chevy designed the Silverado 1500 with a convenient oil life monitor. When your oil change indicator light comes on, make it a point to bring in your truck for servicing within the next 500 miles.

While your truck is in the shop, the service technicians will need to rotate the tires. Tire rotation helps the tires wear evenly, which saves you more money in the long run. If the tires show signs of irregular wear, a wheel alignment will likely be recommended. A 7,500-mile service also involves inspecting the brakes for potential problems. Because brakes have such a big impact on safety, the extra peace of mind is well worth it.

Your Silverado 1500’s passenger-compartment air filter should be replaced every 22,500 miles. The purpose of this filter is to collect dust and pollen, helping you to breathe easier. It’s also important to have the truck’s fuel filter replaced at this time. When the fuel filter becomes dirty, drivers can expect to experience hesitation and misfiring. Changing this component helps ensure a trouble-free performance.

Now is the time to have your Silverado 1500’s engine air filter replaced. If you fail to do so, performance will eventually start to suffer. Sluggish acceleration is a key sign the air filter has become clogged. Decreased fuel economy is yet another consequence. Chevy also stresses the importance of replacing the transmission fluid every 45,000 miles. When old transmission fluid begins to break down, it’s no longer able to lubricate and cool the internal parts properly.

Modern spark plugs are engineered to last for a long time. Nevertheless, they gradually start to wear out. Changing the spark plugs every 97,500 miles will enable you to avoid unexpected trouble. Some of the tell-tale signs of worn spark plugs include rough idling, hard starts, and hesitation. The truck may also begin to consume more fuel.

When your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado reaches 150,000 miles, the service technicians need to drain and replace the coolant. Contrary to common belief, coolant does more than help to regulate the engine temperature. It’s also responsible for helping to prevent corrosion. As coolant ages, its rust inhibitors begin to deplete. This means oxidation is more likely to develop on the engine’s components. At the 150,000-mile mark, the truck’s engine accessory belts need to be inspected as well. Cracking, fraying, and stretching all indicate the need for a replacement belt. You don’t want an old engine accessory belt to break suddenly, leaving you stranded on the side of the road.
