2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Maintenance

Take care of your GMC Sierra 3500 HD and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Sierra 3500 HD could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sierra 3500 HD perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Sierra 3500 HD’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD. In general, car batteries only last three to 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC Sierra 3500 HD battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 3500 HD stranded. Your GMC Sierra 3500 HD 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 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD engine.
