2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Maintenance Schedule

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup built for demanding work and everyday driving. It handles towing and hauling with ease, and it’s comfortable enough for long trips. Keeping up with routine maintenance is the best way to make sure it stays reliable year after year. Customers at Jim Cook Chevrolet, the Salem Chevrolet dealer, count on our certified service technicians when their truck needs scheduled maintenance.

Routine service protects performance and helps avoid surprises. Following Chevrolet’s recommended maintenance schedule at our Salem Chevrolet dealership is the simplest way to extend your Silverado 1500’s engine life and keep ownership costs under control.

Below are the key milestones for the 2026 Silverado 1500’s scheduled maintenance visits.

Every 7,500 Miles

The first scheduled visit happens when your truck reaches 7,500 miles. Our technicians will change the oil and the oil filter to maintain proper lubrication. They inspect the battery for corrosion and loose connections, check the tires for uneven wear that could signal an alignment issue, and look over the wiper blades so visibility stays sharp in bad weather.

Every 22,500 Miles

At 22,500 miles, the engine air filter will be replaced to keep airflow efficient. A clogged filter can reduce power and fuel economy. The fuel filter is inspected at the same time; keeping the fuel system free of contaminants helps the engine run smoothly and start reliably.

Every 45,000 Miles

When the odometer reaches 45,000 miles, our technicians will replace the brake fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. Replacing it keeps the brakes functioning correctly. Fresh fluid restores the system’s feel and performance.

Every 97,500 Miles

At 97,500 miles, our technicians will install new spark plugs. Worn spark plugs can cause hard starts, rough idling, or sluggish acceleration. During this visit, the ignition wires and related components will be inspected so the engine starts consistently under load and during cold starts.

150,000 Miles

At 97,500 miles, our technicians will install new spark plugs. Worn spark plugs can cause hard starts, rough idling, or sluggish acceleration. During this visit, the ignition wires and related components will be inspected so the engine starts consistently under load and during cold starts.

If you tow frequently, drive in extreme heat or cold, or spend time on dusty roads, ask our service advisor about severe-use adjustments so your schedule matches the way the truck is used.
