Chevrolet Equinox Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Equinox?

If you want your car to last, having it serviced on time and according to the proper schedule is crucial. Taking your car in for service as recommended by the manufacturer can prevent more extensive problems from developing down the road, which can, in turn, save you money on car repairs, and it means you'll get to drive your car longer. To ensure proper service is performed, you can look at the Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule located in the owner's manual for your vehicle. It's essential to keep up with all Chevrolet Equinox service intervals to ensure your car stays in top condition and is safe to drive.

15,000-Mile Service

The first full-service appointment that your Equinox will need begins at 15,000 miles. Remember that this appointment will follow the first oil change and tire rotation, which your car will need at about 7,500 miles. Since both services are performed at 7,500 intervals, your Equinox will get an oil change and tire evaluation at 15,000 miles, too. A Chevy technician will also look at the car's headlights and wiper blades to ensure the car is safe and visible at night.

30,000-Mile Service

The Equinox will be due for its next service appointment at 30,000 miles. When your car reaches 30,000 miles, its engine oil levels will be checked, along with the quality of the oil. The oil will be changed, and your car may get a new engine filter to make sure clean and oxygenated air gets to the engine and fuel system. The car will be due for another tire inspection and rotation. It may have an alignment, and a mechanic will look at the brake fluid levels and wear patterns on the brake's components, including the pads and rotors. Your vehicle will also get a multi-point inspection of the hoses, belts, and connecting wires.

60,000-Mile Service

At the 60,000-mile mark, your Equinox will have a more comprehensive inspection that builds on the services performed at 30,000 miles. At this time, your vehicle will have its engine air filter changed. The battery, which lasts about five years or 60,000 miles, will also be inspected and replaced if its power output is inadequate. The transmission fluid gets replaced at this point, along with the transfer case fluid.

90,000-Mile Service

When the Equinox reaches 90,000 miles, the spark plugs get replaced if they haven't been changed already, and the spark plug wires are also inspected. The brakes, tires, and engine oil are all checked, and your car may get a change of its power steering fluid.
