GMC Sierra 1500 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My GMC Sierra 1500?

Your GMC Sierra is a solid and capable truck that gets you to the places you need to go. As hardy as the Sierra 1500 is, however, it periodically needs maintenance to stay as powerful, safe, and efficient as possible. To make sure the truck performs at its best, GMC has created a service schedule guide that can be found in your truck's owner's manual. When you're scheduling your vehicle for service, it's always best to go with the owner's manual's recommendations, as they will be the most accurate based on the year, model, and trim level that you drive. Your GMC Sierra 1500 maintenance schedule will ensure your car performs at its best, and it can detect problems early on that can be fixed before they become major concerns.

7,500 Mile Service

The first of your GMC Sierra 1500's service intervals start at 7,500 miles. At this point, the oil will be changed on your vehicle if you haven't had it replaced recently. The tires will be evaluated for pressure, tread depth, and overall condition. They'll be rotated if they show signs of wearing unevenly. The braking system will be inspected as well, along with the fuel system and your exhaust system. A mechanic will look at the starter switch and gas strut, too, along with the shift lock control feature for the automatic transmission. The ignition transmission lock will be evaluated, along with the parking brake and your GMC Sierra's accelerator.

22,500 Mile Service

A few more services will be added to your GMC's maintenance program at 22,500 miles. The oil and tires will be checked at this point. The oil will be changed if necessary, and the tires may be rotated as well. The air filter will be checked and replaced for the passenger's compartment, and the transfer case fluid will be replaced if you drive a GMC Sierra 1500 with four-wheel drive.

45,000 Mile Service

At 45,000 miles, your GMC Sierra 1500 will get some added services. At this mileage-based checkup, your truck will have its fuel filter replaced if it is dirty, and the engine air filter will likely be changed as well. The automatic transmission fluid and transmission filter will also be due for a replacement.

97,500 Mile Service

The next primary checkup for your GMC Sierra 1500 occurs at 97,500 miles. At this time, the truck's spark plugs will be replaced. The oil will likely be changed as well.
