Chevrolet recommends having your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet Traverse. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
