Chevrolet Equinox Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Chevrolet Equinox?

Having your car regularly serviced can add years to your car's life, and it can extend the lifespan of all the components in your vehicle. To make sure your car stays in top condition, you'll want to follow the Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer. Chevrolet Equinox service intervals start at 15,000 miles. Your car will need to be inspected periodically after that through 90,000 miles. Although the types of services required at each service interval may vary, it's essential to make sure you take your car to all of its service appointments.

15,000-Mile Service

At 15,000 miles, your Equinox will need to have its first major service performed by a certified Chevrolet technician. Services at this point are relatively minor, but they are still important for your car's health. Your Equinox will get an oil change during its first service interval, and it may have the engine filter replaced for optimal engine performance. The tires will be physically inspected for abnormalities such as low tread levels or improper pressure ratings. A Chevy technician will look at your Equinox's interior and exterior to make sure it has no other problems.

30,000-Mile Service

The second recommended service interval for your Equinox takes place at 30,000 miles. A full oil change is performed at 30,000 miles, and your Equinox has its engine filter changed again. The cabin air filter will be replaced as well. The brakes get a thorough inspection, which includes the brake pads, lining, and rotors. The automatic fluid is changed, and the transfer case fluid is changed if your Equinox has AWD.

60,000-Mile Service

The Chevy Equinox will be due for a synthetic oil change at 60,000 miles, and it may get another replacement engine filter. The passenger compartment air filter is also replaced at this point. Your car will have its tires rotated. The tires will be checked for sufficient tread and pressure. The Equinox will get an alignment if needed, and it may have the battery replaced. The lights and wipers will get checked, too.

90,000-Mile Service

For the 90,000-mile mark, your Equinox will have the engine accessory drive belts inspected for damage or cracks. The car will have its spark plugs and spark plug wires inspected and replaced as needed. The brakes will be examined for signs of excessive wear. The engine cooling system gets drained and refilled, and the power steering fluid is replaced.
