One of the best ways to preserve your vehicle is to schedule regular oil changes. It's essential to schedule your oil changes at the appropriate mileage. Our team shares the optimal Chevy oil change intervals. With that information, you’ll be ready to schedule your next visit to Joe Lunghamer Chevrolet.

Ideal Service Schedule

At each oil change visit, we’ll remove the oil from your vehicle and replace it with fresh oil. This ensures that the oil can flow freely and lubricate and protect your engine, which minimizes heat, friction, and undue wear. We’ll also replace your engine oil filter, rotate your tires, and complete a multi-point inspection of your vehicle. We recommend scheduling these Chevy service visits every 7,500 miles.

Higher Intervals

You’ll need to schedule Chevy oil changes every 7,500 miles or as indicated by the Oil Life System throughout the duration of your vehicle’s lifespan. However, as your mileage climbs, you'll need additional service tasks as well. These additional tasks include:

  • 12,000 to 30,000 miles – brake inspection, engine air filter replacement, cabin air filter replacement, and fuel system cleaning
  • 30,000 to 60,000 miles – tire replacement, battery replacement, brake pad and rotor replacement, and coolant flush
  • 60,000 to 90,000 miles – belts and hoses replacement, shocks and struts service, and transmission service
  • 90,000+ miles – timing belt replacement, spark plug replacement, differential service

Adverse Driving Schedule

Keep in mind, these recommendations are for drivers who consistently drive in ideal driving conditions. If you drive in adverse driving conditions, you’ll need maintenance more often. This includes frequently taking short trips, driving in dusty or dirty conditions often, frequently towing or hauling heavy loads, and more.
