Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Trax
Chevrolet of Corsicana - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Trax
At Chevrolet GMC of Corsicana, we make it simple to keep your Chevrolet® Trax performing its best with Certified Service, GM Genuine Parts, and convenient scheduling. As a local team proudly serving in Corsicana, TX, Navarro County, and Ennis, we tailor maintenance to real Texas driving—heat, dust, stop-and-go traffic, and family road trips. While your Trax includes an Oil Life Monitoring System to guide oil changes, a proactive plan helps you get ahead of wear, protect safety systems like StabiliTrak and ABS, and preserve long-term value. The general guidelines below reflect common needs across many Trax model years, but intervals vary by engine, equipment, mileage, and driving conditions—always follow your Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our service advisors for details.
- Every 7,500 miles or 12 months: Replace engine oil and filter with GM-approved oil, rotate tires, set pressures, inspect brakes, top fluids, perform a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection, and reset the Oil Life Monitoring System.
- Every 15,000 miles: Replace the cabin air filter, inspect the engine air filter, check wheel alignment and balance if you notice pull or vibration, and lubricate hinges and latches.
- Every 30,000 miles: Replace the engine air filter, inspect brake pads, rotors, and calipers, evaluate the cooling system, and clean the throttle body if buildup is present.
- Every 45,000 miles: Replace brake fluid based on condition or time, inspect the serpentine drive belt and tensioner, and replace wiper blades as needed for clear visibility.
- Every 60,000 miles: Service engine coolant per Dex-Cool guidance, inspect suspension and steering components, and service transmission fluid if your driving profile or Owner’s Manual calls for it.
- Every 75,000 miles: Inspect wheel bearings and hubs, examine the exhaust system and heat shields, and service AWD rear differential and PTU if equipped.
- Every 90,000–100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs per your model-year specifications, inspect or replace the accessory drive belt, and re-evaluate coolant hoses and clamps.
- At every visit: Test the battery, verify Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor operation, check exterior lighting, and review recalls or software updates—including OnStar® and infotainment.
To get the most from this schedule, set calendar reminders, check tire pressure monthly, and ask for a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection at each visit so we can identify small issues before they become big repairs. If your Trax experiences rough roads, heavy loads, frequent short trips, or extreme heat, consider “severe service” timing—earlier fluid services, more frequent alignments, and shorter intervals for filters and brakes. We stand ready to personalize your plan, document service history for resale value, and provide customer amenities that make visits easy.
