5 Car Maintenance Tips from Your Chevy Dealer to Keep Your Chevy in Great Shape

1. Familiarize Yourself with Your Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual

Your car’s owner’s manual contains all the necessary information regarding your vehicle’s maintenance intervals, including the required inspections, corrections, and replacements. It provides valuable information on the dashboard warning lights, the proper oil for your vehicle, and the recommended tire pressure levels. Everything you need to know about taking care of your Chevy and keeping it in good condition is in your car owner’s manual.

2. Stick to the Service Schedule and Maintenance Intervals

Regular maintenance services are vital if you want your Chevy to remain reliable, fuel-efficient, and safe to drive. If you stick to the service schedule and factory-recommended maintenance intervals in your owner’s manual, your Chevy will always be in top condition. With regular maintenance, you will save money on gas and repairs, extend your car’s lifespan, and increase its resale value when you sell or trade your vehicle in for a new one.

3. Change the Oil at the Recommended Intervals

Regularly changing the engine oil is one of the most critical maintenance tasks and the best thing you can do for your Chevy. The engine oil lubricates the moving components, reduces friction and heat, and cleans and cools the engine. The Oil Life Monitoring System (OLMS) will alert you through a “Change Engine Oil Soon” message when it’s time for an oil change.

Older models require an oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months, depending on your driving habits and the conditions of the roads you use.

4. Always Use the Proper Oil For Your Vehicle

It’s essential to use the proper oil to ensure your engine runs optimally. Top-quality ACDelco Gold Conventional Oil, ACDelco dexos1 Full Synthetic Oil, and Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil are recommended by the factory for your vehicle. These oils are infused with special additives that offer the ultimate protection to your engine against harmful contaminants, minimize wear, and deliver exceptional lubrication. 

5. Install Genuine OEM Parts

When your Chevy needs replacement parts, insist on genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. The parts are manufactured for your vehicle by General Motors and are reliable and durable. Most genuine OEM Chevrolet Parts, ACDelco, and GM Genuine Parts are warranty-covered and covered by the 24 Months/Unlimited-Mile Limited Warranty.
