Here’s Why 2001 GMC Savana 1500 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your GMC Savana 1500 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Savana 1500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your GMC Savana 1500 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2001 GMC Savana 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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.

Could your 2001 GMC Savana 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Savana 1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Savana 1500 battery. 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 Savana 1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Savana 1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2001 GMC Savana 1500 running newer, longer. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2001 Savana 1500 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2001 GMC Savana 1500.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my GMC Savana 1500? 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 switch my GMC Savana 1500 to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older GMC Savana 1500 engines.
  • Can GMC dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your GMC Savana 1500 in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
