How Often to Change 2022 Chevrolet Traverse Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Chevrolet Traverse’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Chevrolet recommends changing your 2022 Traverse’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Traverse in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Traverse may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Traverse. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
