2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Silverado 2500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Silverado 2500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 2500 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 Silverado 2500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 2500 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 Silverado 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
