7,500 Miles

According to the Cypress Chevrolet dealer, some important maintenance services need to be done every 7,500 miles. The technicians will first perform an oil change. Modern motor oil starts to break down over time. Changing the motor oil according to the schedule recommended by the manufacturer will prevent premature wear and tear on the engine. It’s just as important to replace the oil filter, which helps keeps the engine clean.

Tire rotation is another part of your vehicle’s 7,500-mile service. By helping the tread to wear evenly, this maintenance procedure helps extend the life of the tires. Regular tire rotations can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Quality brake pads can last for several thousand miles. However, hard braking and stop-and-go traffic can cause them to wear down sooner than expected. To make sure the brakes are in good condition, the service center will perform an inspection. You’ll then be able to ride with extra peace of mind.

22,500 Miles

Around the 22,500-mile mark, your Trax’s passenger-side cabin filter should be replaced. It’s responsible for collecting dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Not only will a clogged cabin filter impact the performance of the HVAC system, but it also puts you at a greater risk of experiencing allergy symptoms.

45,000 Miles

When you reach 45,000 miles, it’s time to have the Trax’s engine air filter replaced. This component prevents damaging contaminants from getting inside the engine. As the engine air filter becomes dirtier, your vehicle’s performance will eventually start to suffer. Sluggish acceleration is among the biggest signs of a clogged engine air filter.

At this time, the service techs will also inspect your Trax’s evaporative control system. If this system becomes overcome with gunk, it could cause the check engine light to come on.

97,500 Miles

When the odometer hits 97,500 miles, the spark plugs should be replaced. These components have a direct impact on vehicle performance and fuel economy. Some of the issues caused by worn spark plugs include rough idling, hesitation and poor fuel economy. If your Trax features an AWD system, the transfer fluid also needs to be drained and replaced.

150,000

Now is the time to have the engine coolant replaced. Its anti-rust inhibitors start to deteriorate, making corrosion more likely to occur.

Technicians will also check the condition of the drive belts. If a worn drive belt suddenly breaks while you're on the road, you could be left stranded. The rubber gradually starts to weaken with age. Stretching, cracking and fraying all indicate the need to have the drive belt replaced.
