So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Savana 2500 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2006 GMC Savana 2500!

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

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your GMC Savana 2500 Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 2006 GMC Savana 2500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Savana 2500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2006 GMC Savana 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Savana 2500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Savana 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 Savana 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Savana 2500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 Savana 2500. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 GMC Savana 2500.
