1996 Chevrolet K2500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet K2500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your K2500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 K2500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 Chevrolet K2500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your K2500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Chevrolet K2500 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Chevrolet K2500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 K2500'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 1996 Chevrolet K2500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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 K2500 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 K2500 stranded. Your Chevrolet K2500 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 1996 Chevrolet K2500's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 K2500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
