2026 Chevrolet Colorado Maintenance Schedule

2026 Chevrolet Colorado Maintenance Schedule

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado delivers the strength of a full-size truck in a more maneuverable midsize package. The 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, making merging, passing, and towing feel effortless. The eight-speed automatic transmission keeps the power smooth and accessible. Trims like Z71 and ZR2 add hardware that enhances off-road capability while maintaining everyday comfort. The cabin is straightforward and tech-forward: customers of the Spruce Pine Chevrolet dealer appreciate the crisp 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, digital instrument display, and thoughtful storage throughout the crew cab. Driver-assistance features enhance confidence without getting in the way, making the Colorado a practical daily companion that’s also ready for adventure.

To keep the Colorado’s performance and reliability at factory standards, regular maintenance is essential. The certified service technicians here at Jim Cook Chevrolet, the Spruce Pine Chevrolet dealership, follow Chevrolet’s certified maintenance schedule to keep your Colorado performing at its best and to help protect its warranty coverage. Sticking to Chevrolet’s intervals protects the engine, transmission, and four-wheel-drive components. Here’s what we do—and why it matters—at each major milestone.

Every 7,500 Miles

During the initial maintenance visit, our service technicians will change the oil and filter using GM-spec fluid, rotate the tires to balance front-to-rear wear, and conduct a detailed brake assessment. We also check that the tire-pressure monitoring system is working correctly, top off fluids, and perform a quick road evaluation. These basics are repeated at each scheduled visit because they help preserve tire life, maintain braking consistency, and ensure smooth engine operation.

Every 22,500 Miles

At 22,500 miles, our service technicians will replace the cabin air filter to keep the interior air clean and maintain strong defogging performance. We’ll also inspect the engine air filter and replace it as needed, typically between 20,000 and 40,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Keeping the air filter clean helps the turbocharged engine breathe properly for strong performance and efficient fuel use.

Every 45,000 Miles

By 45,000 miles, brake fluid service is due. Because brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, we replace it to maintain safe, consistent braking performance. We also perform an evaporative emissions inspection, confirming that the purge flow, lines, valves, and canister are functioning properly to contain and process fuel vapors.

Every 97,500 Miles

Spark plugs wear gradually. At 97,500 miles, we’ll install new ones to maintain crisp ignition and stable combustion. If your Colorado has four-wheel drive, we’ll also replace the transfer case fluid to protect the chain, gears, and bearings—especially important if you tow, use four-wheel drive in sand or snow, or frequently run trails.

150,000 Miles

At 150,000 miles, our technicians will flush and refill the coolant to renew corrosion protection and heat transfer. We also inspect hoses and drive belts for age-related wear and replace anything suspect to help prevent roadside failures.

When you bring your 2026 Chevy Colorado to the Jim Cook Chevrolet Service Center, your truck will be ready for everything from weekday commutes to weekend off-roading. Our team uses OEM parts and factory tools and procedures to ensure the truck’s capability, efficiency, and safety features perform as intended.
