1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Chevrolet Express 1500 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Express 1500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Express 1500 maintenance. Just follow your 1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Express 1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Express 1500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Express 1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Express 1500 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Express 1500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Express 1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1997 Express 1500. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1997 Chevrolet Express 1500.
