Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get K3500 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 K3500!

Chevrolet knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your K3500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1997 Chevrolet K3500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Chevrolet K3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your K3500'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 K3500? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your K3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Chevrolet K3500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty K3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet K3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1997 Chevrolet K3500 running newer, longer. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 1997 K3500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
