1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet K1500 Suburban, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your K1500 Suburban. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get K1500 Suburban maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban!

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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your K1500 Suburban perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban problems.

Bring your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your K1500 Suburban's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your K1500 Suburban may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet K1500 Suburban battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Chevrolet K1500 Suburban 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 help your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 K1500 Suburban in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban.
