When it comes to your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Silverado 1500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer.
