GMC Sierra 1500 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My GMC Sierra 1500?

The service that your GMC Sierra 1500 needs is based on several factors, including the car's age, mileage, and specifics, such as the drivetrain that it is equipped with. The GMC Sierra 1500 will need to start with an oil change and tire rotation approximately every 7,500 miles. GMC Sierra 1500 service intervals typically begin at 15,000 miles after that and go through 90,000 miles and sometimes beyond. To ensure that your car has adequate service at the correct time, you'll need to follow the GMC Sierra 1500 maintenance schedule found in the owner's manual that accompanies your vehicle.

15,000 Mile Service

When your GMC Sierra 1500 reaches 15,000 miles, it will have the engine oil quality checked. The engine oil levels will be reviewed as well to make sure the car has enough oil. If the engine air filter is dirty, it will also be replaced at 15,000 miles. Your GMC's tires will get a visual overview to check their tread wear, tread depth, and pressure. The tires are rotated as necessary. Your vehicle may also get an alignment if needed at any of its service intervals, starting at 15,000 miles.

30,000 Mile Service

The GMC Sierra 1500 will likely be due for another oil change at 30,000 miles. The tires may be rotated, and the truck gets an alignment if needed. The brakes will be due for a visual inspection, and the air filter in the cabin may be replaced. If your GMC Sierra 1500 has a GVW rating of over 8,600 pounds and it has four-wheel drive, the transfer case fluid gets changed. A skilled mechanic will also give your car a general safety overview with a multi-point inspection of the exterior along with a check of the hoses, belts, and other major components and connections.

60,000 Mile Service

Your GMC Sierra 1500 will get a longer list of services at 60,000 miles. The transmission fluid and brake fluid are replaced at this point, along with the engine oil. The GMC also has its transfer case fluid flushed and refilled if it has a GVW rating of fewer than 8,600 pounds. The spark plugs and spark plug wiring are checked as well. Your GMC will also have its battery checked for signs of damage and longevity.

90,000 Mile Service

When your truck reaches 90,000 miles, it has the transmission fluid flushed again, and the engine oil gets changed as well. The engine's accessory belts are inspected, and the engine cooling system is drained and refilled. The spark plugs may be replaced, too.
