2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Silverado 1500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Silverado 1500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Silverado 1500's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 problems in the future.

Bring your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 be ready for a new battery? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Silverado 1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2016 Silverado 1500. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
