1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Silverado 1500. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Silverado 1500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 maintenance schedule!

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. 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 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 Silverado 1500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Silverado 1500. 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.

Could your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500 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. 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 Silverado 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 1999 Silverado 1500, check out the information table at the beginning 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
