What to Know About 2016 Chevrolet Trax Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet Trax to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Trax could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Trax maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Chevrolet Trax!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Trax perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2016 Chevrolet Trax problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2016 Chevrolet Trax and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Trax's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2016 Chevrolet Trax? 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 Trax battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Trax stranded. Your Chevrolet Trax won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2016 Chevrolet Trax engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2016 Trax. 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 Trax.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Trax can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Chevrolet Trax? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Chevrolet Trax? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Chevrolet Trax? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can Chevrolet dashboard warning lights wait? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Chevrolet Trax, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
