2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Maintenance Schedule

2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Maintenance Schedule

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is built to handle a multitude of tasks. It can pull heavy trailers, carry tools and gear in the bed, and still handle the daily drive to work. Customers of Flagstaff Chevrolet, the Cottonwood Chevrolet dealer, depend on this mighty pickup for everything from long highway trips to challenging off-road adventures.

The best thing you can do to keep your Silverado 1500 running reliably is to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. That means staying on top of regular oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections. The team at Flagstaff Chevrolet is trained to handle these jobs and keep your truck ready for whatever comes next.

Routine maintenance isn’t just about fixing problems after they happen. When you bring your truck to our Cottonwood Chevrolet dealership for scheduled maintenance, it will help prevent a host of potential issues. Following Chevrolet’s maintenance schedule also helps extend your Silverado 1500’s life. Here’s a look at the major milestones for the 2026 Silverado 1500.

Every 7,500 Miles

The first scheduled service takes place at 7,500 miles. During this visit, our certified service technicians will change the oil and oil filter. Fresh oil keeps the engine protected and running smoothly. Our technicians will also check the battery, making sure the connections are clean and secure. They’ll inspect the tires for uneven wear, which may point to alignment issues. The state of the wiper blades will also be assessed, since clear visibility is important in rain or snow.

Every 22,500 Miles

At 22,500 miles, the engine air filter will be replaced. This filter keeps dirt and debris from reaching the engine, so changing it on time makes a difference in performance and fuel economy. The fuel filter will also be inspected.

Every 45,000 Miles

At 45,000 miles, the brake fluid will be replaced. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which reduces stopping power. Chevrolet recommends changing the brake fluid every three years, even if the truck hasn’t reached 45,000 miles.

Every 97,500 Miles

At 97,500 miles, the service technicians will replace your 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s spark plugs. Worn plugs can lead to rough idling, misfires, or poor acceleration. During this visit, the ignition wires will also be inspected and replaced if necessary to keep the engine running properly.

150,000 Miles

At 150,000 miles, the Silverado 1500 will undergo a more thorough inspection. The accessory drive belts will be checked and replaced if necessary. These belts power key systems under the hood, so catching wear early can prevent breakdowns. The cooling system will be flushed and new coolant added. This step restores protection against overheating and corrosion, both of which can cause serious damage if ignored.

Following your 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s recommended maintenance schedule will help keep it in excellent condition.
