This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your K1500. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1997 Chevrolet K1500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet K1500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty K1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet K1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
