While older models adhered to a strict 3,000-mile rule, modern Chevrolets generally require an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Most vehicles are equipped with an Oil Life Monitor system that alerts you via the dashboard when it's time for service.

The light signals that the onboard computer has detected an engine or emissions malfunction. Common culprits range from something as minor as a loose gas cap to more serious sensor or mechanical failures. It is recommended to pull the trouble code using an OBD-II scanner.  

Chevrolet recommends getting a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (often done concurrently with an oil change) to ensure even tread wear and prolong the life of the tires.

Tires should generally be replaced if the tread depth drops below 2/32 of an inch (you can test this by placing a penny upside down in the tread-if you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time). Tires should also be replaced due to age if they are older than 6 years, regardless of tread wear.

Engine Oil & Windshield Fluid: Check monthly.

Brake Fluid: Typically inspected during routine service intervals and flushed every 2 to 3 years.
