2017 Chevrolet Malibu Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Malibu and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Malibu could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Malibu maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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 Malibu running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2017 Chevrolet Malibu problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Malibu’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Malibu may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Malibu battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Malibu) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Malibu could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 Malibu 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu? We can help with that, too!
