2000 GMC Sierra 2500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your GMC Sierra 2500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Sierra 2500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sierra 2500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2000 GMC Sierra 2500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sierra 2500's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 problems.

Bring your 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Sierra 2500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Sierra 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 Sierra 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 2500 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2000 Sierra 2500. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2000 GMC Sierra 2500.
