Chevrolet Equinox Service Schedule by Mileage

How often should you bring your Equinox in to be serviced? While it depends somewhat on how you drive—and you should always check your owner’s manual—we’ve outlined the basics below. You can always call our service center at (937) 833-4011 for advice specific to your model year.

Every 7,500 Miles: The Basics

Your Chevy Equinox maintenance schedule begins with tire rotation and other required services every 7,500 miles on Vandalia streets. If you’re wondering about your Chevy Equinox oil change frequency, we typically perform it at this interval (or when your Oil Life Monitor indicates).

• Oil Change: Replace engine oil and filter.
• Tires: Tire rotation and pressure check.
• Inspection: Multi-point vehicle inspection (MPVI).
• Air Filter: Inspect and replace the engine air filter if needed.

Every 22,500 Miles

Every 22,500 miles or 24 months, your Equinox passenger compartment air filter (cabin filter) should be replaced. If you regularly drive in heavy Dayton traffic or areas with construction dust, consider replacing it sooner to keep your allergies in check.

Every 45,000 Miles: Crucial Fluid Services

Don’t miss this service interval! Every 45,000 miles, you’ll need to perform specific fluid exchanges to keep your powertrain healthy. This is especially important for the longevity of your transmission:

• Transmission Fluid: Change the fluid (and filter, if equipped with a CVT).
• Engine Air Filter: Replace the engine air cleaner filter.
• Brake Fluid: Inspect brake fluid levels and quality.

Every 60,000 Miles

To maintain peak fuel efficiency on I-70, we recommend replacing the spark plugs and inspecting the spark plug wires and boots. (Note: Some 1.5L Turbo engines may require this sooner under severe driving conditions).

Every 75,000 Miles

If you drive an AWD model in Lewisburg winters, you should change the rear axle fluid every 75,000 miles to ensure your All-Wheel Drive system engages smoothly.

Long-Term Maintenance (100k+ Miles)

• Cooling System: Drain and fill the engine cooling system every 6 years or 150,000 miles.
• A/C Desiccant: Replace every 7 years to keep cool during hot Trotwood summers.
• Struts: Replace hood and body lift support gas struts every 10 years or 100,000 miles.
