Chevrolet Equinox Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Equinox?

Technically, service for your Chevy Equinox begins at 7,500 miles, which is when it will need to have the oil changed for the first time. The engine filter, which keeps contaminants from getting into the engine and wrecking the fuel lines, will be checked, too. The tires may also be rotated. More comprehensive Chevrolet Equinox service intervals start at 15,000 miles. They continue at 30,000 miles and incrementally through 90,000 miles. You'll want to follow the Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule in your car's manual to make sure your vehicle gets fully and adequately serviced for safety and optimal performance and longevity.

15,000-Mile Service

Your Equinox will be due for another oil change at 15,000 miles. It will also need a second tire rotation. A mechanic will look at the tires' overall health, too, including checking them visually for tread depth and signs of uneven tread levels. If the tires aren't wearing evenly, they'll be rotated to correct the problem. The filter on the engine also may be due for replacement. The mechanic will look at the exterior safety amenities and the Equinox, including the wiper blades and lights.

30,000-Mile Service

Once again, your Equinox will have its oil changed at 30,000 miles, and the engine filter gets changed again. The tires may also be rotated and checked for adequate pressure. Your vehicle may also get an alignment when it reaches 30,000 miles. The interior check-up includes a replacement of the air filter in the passenger compartment. The brakes and brake fluid levels also get an inspection.

60,000-Mile Service

When the odometer on your car reaches 60,000 miles, it will have the same services performed as before, plus a few more. A mechanic will check the car's battery at 60,000 miles to see how much life and power it has left. A technician will also look for signs of trouble with the battery, including corrosion. The brake fluid will get changed at this mileage-based interval, and the automatic transmission fluid gets changed if your vehicle has an automatic transmission. The brake fluid will be replaced as well.

90,000-Mile Service

The 90,000-mile service for Equinox includes a change of the transmission fluid and transfer case fluid. The hoses, belts, and connections get checked at this point, including the accessory drive belts. The engine cooling system fluid may be changed too, and the brakes get inspected again.
