What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

How much can I tow in a Chevrolet G20?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your G20’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

How often does my G20 transmission fluid need to be checked?

Caring for your Chevrolet G20’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Chevrolet. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
