New 2024 Chevrolet Silverado Maintenance Schedule

August 9th, 2023 by

 

As far as pickup trucks go, the Chevrolet Silverado is a true workhorse. Its capacity for laborious tasks is not some gimmick or marketing pitch — it’s in the truck’s DNA. For generations, this truck has earned its stripes by braving the dust and dirt of demanding construction sites, dutifully transporting boats to lake houses, and tirelessly working on rugged ranches. But even as times change, the Silverado perseveres. Today, the current production Silverado continues to handle work and playtime duties with ease, making it a dependable truck that consumers can always count on.

That said, if you’re the proud owner of a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado — which you should be — then you’ll want to ensure your trusty truck is well taken care of. Regular maintenance may be far from glamorous, but it’s essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of this workhorse. To help keep your Silverado in top shape, Stan McNabb Chevrolet of Columbia has put together a helpful maintenance schedule for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado. By following this schedule, you can ensure that your truck is always running at its best and that you don’t miss any important maintenance tasks.

Every 7,500 Miles 2024 Chevrolet Silverado in the mountains driving

At Stan McNabb Chevrolet of Columbia, our service technicians know how important it is to regularly maintain your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado. During your first visit, they’ll perform a variety of essential tasks to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly.

First, your engine oil will be changed and your oil filter replaced. This is a critical step in extending the life of your vehicle’s engine and preventing expensive repairs. They’ll also inspect your battery for corrosion on the terminals and loose wires that could prevent it from starting. Your tires will be inspected for uneven wear, and if necessary, a wheel alignment can be performed. The technicians will also check your wipers to ensure they’re in good condition.

At each 7,500-mile maintenance interval, the previously mentioned tasks will be repeated, along with an inspection of all steering, suspension, and chassis components. Additionally, the following parts will also be inspected:

  • Brake system.
  • Exhaust system.
  • Gas struts.
  • Fuel system.
  • Starter switch.
  • Ignition transmission lock.
  • Automatic transmission shift lock control function.
  • Accelerator pedal.
  • Parking brake.

If any of these parts are damaged, we recommend addressing them immediately. With regular maintenance, your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado will stay in top condition for many years to come.

Every 25,500 Miles

It’s time to bring your truck in for filter replacements and routine maintenance after 25,500 miles on the roads and highways near Columbia, Tennessee. First, the cabin air filter will be replaced to improve the air quality inside your truck. This filter is designed to collect pollen, dust, and dirt circulating in the cabin.

At 22,000 miles, engine technicians usually replace your truck’s engine air filter. When this filter gets dirty, you’ll notice reduced performance. Additionally, the fuel filter should be inspected. If it’s dirty, it should be replaced. In general, it needs to be replaced every 20,000 to 40,000 miles.

Every 45,000 Miles

After your truck has traveled a total of 45,000 miles, it’s important to have the brakes serviced. After all, your brakes are one of the most essential systems on your vehicle — they’re responsible for stopping the truck and keeping you safe. If it’s been three years or more since the brake fluid was last changed, then it’ll need to be replaced. This is done no matter what the odometer reads. In addition to this, the engine air filter should also be changed, as a dirty air filter can negatively affect acceleration and fuel economy.

For trucks with a gross vehicle weight of under 8,600 pounds, there’s an additional service you’ll need to have performed — changing the transfer case fluid in the four-wheel-drive system. This ensures your truck is geared up to handle any terrain you may come across. And while they’re at it, our technicians will also take the time to inspect the evaporative control system for any pesky fume leaks that could compromise your ride. Don’t let small maintenance items like these affect your driving experience — stay on top of them with our trusted service providers.

Every 97,500 Miles

Once your Chevrolet Silverado has hit 97,500 miles, it’s time to replace the spark plugs. Spark plugs are designed to last for years, but they do wear out eventually. By replacing them as the manufacturer recommends, you can keep your truck running smoothly and ensure there are no issues with performance, such as rough idling or weak acceleration. The service technicians at Stan McNabb Chevrolet of Columbia will also check the ignition wires for signs of wear during this maintenance appointment.

Every 150,000 Miles

Reaching 150,000 miles in your Chevrolet Silverado is quite a feat, and it’s a testament to the reliability of your truck. One of the key components to pay attention to at this point is the coolant. This vital fluid helps keep your engine at the proper temperature and prevents damage from rust, but after 150,000 miles, it’s time for a change.

Your service technician will drain and flush the coolant system, including the radiator. While they’re at it, they’ll also inspect your engine accessory drive belts. These can become worn and frayed, leading to potential breakdowns. With these jobs done, you’ll be back on the road and reaching new milestones in no time.

Remember, timely maintenance is the key to a long-lasting truck. Be sure to keep up with your Silverado 1500’s recommended schedule, and feel free to contact our dealership if you have any questions or concerns.
