What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 2008 Chevrolet Equinox?
You want your Chevrolet Equinox to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Equinox. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Equinox maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule!
The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Equinox's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2008 Chevrolet Equinox problems.
Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Equinox's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Equinox battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Equinox stranded. Your Chevrolet Equinox won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 Equinox, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox.
Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Equinox can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Chevrolet Equinox steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Equinox's steering and suspension system.
