When You Should Get It Done
Fortunately, your new GMC has many monitors that will help you keep your maintenance routine in check. It’s also good to have a baseline for when these things need to be done so you can prepare. Follow your car’s owner manual for specific recommendations for exact mileage, but below you’ll find some general guidelines for the first 30,000 miles.
7500 Miles
Every 7,500 miles you should bring your car in for an oil change, tire rotation, and brake inspection.
15,000 Miles
Every 15,000 miles your GMC should have an oil change, an air and in-cabin air filter replacement. At this time your battery and brake pads should also be checked.
30,000 Miles
Every 30,000 miles, your oil needs to be changed. The car should also have a transmission fluid check and service, coolant, and brake system check.
