7,500 Miles
You should schedule the initial maintenance for your Chevrolet Colorado at 7,500 miles. This visit includes an oil change. While motor oil is designed to be durable, it can deteriorate over time. Changing the oil filter is essential as it prevents debris from entering the engine, which is crucial for maintaining the vehicle’s peak performance.
During your 7,500-mile maintenance visit, the certified service technicians at our Fletcher Chevrolet GMC dealer will rotate your truck’s tires to promote even wear and prolong their lifespan. They’ll inspect the tires for any signs of uneven wear, which might suggest that a wheel alignment is necessary, and they’ll also check the brakes. These services will be carried out every 7,500 miles to ensure your vehicle remains in top condition.
22,500 Miles
At the 22,500-mile mark, it’s time to replace the cabin air filter in your Chevrolet Colorado. This filter plays a crucial role in maintaining air quality inside the cabin by trapping dust and pollen, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience. A fresh cabin air filter also allows optimal airflow from the vehicle’s climate control system. In addition to the cabin air filter replacement, the service appointment will include an engine air filter inspection. This filter typically needs changing every 20,000 to 40,000 miles to ensure the engine runs efficiently.
45,000 Miles
Once your Chevrolet Colorado hits the 45,000-mile milestone, it’s time for our technicians to change the brake fluid. Even though brake fluid typically has a three-year lifespan, replacing it at this interval is recommended even if your vehicle hasn’t reached 45,000 miles but is more than three years old. Additionally, this maintenance check includes evaluating the evaporative control system, which is crucial for the proper operation of your truck’s emission control system.
97,500 Miles
At the 97,500-mile interval, it’s advisable to replace the spark plugs in your Chevrolet Colorado to maintain optimal engine performance. Even though modern spark plugs are designed to last up to 100,000 miles, changing them a bit earlier can prevent potential issues like difficulty starting the engine or engine hesitation. Additionally, for Colorado models equipped with all-wheel drive, this service appointment is the right time to have the transfer case fluid replaced by our technicians to ensure the AWD system operates smoothly.
150,000 Miles
A coolant system flush is necessary when your Chevrolet Colorado reaches 150,000 miles. The coolant regulates the engine’s temperature and protects it from corrosion. Over time, however, the rust inhibitors in the coolant lose their effectiveness. During this service, our technicians will also examine the coolant hoses and the engine’s accessory drive belts for any signs of wear and tear, replacing them if needed.
