Chevrolet Service Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Have you been searching for a GM dealership to find the service your vehicle needs? We’re answering our frequently asked service questions at Wilkinson Automotive so you can be confident your vehicle is well cared for.

How Often Do I Need Maintenance?
This question is tough to answer because the demands are different for every vehicle. Plus, it depends on the type of driving you do and even where you drive most. We encourage you to review your owner’s manual, which will include a recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle.

What Type of Oil Do I Need?
There are a variety of engine oil types, each with different benefits.
• Conventional oil – is the most common and affordable type. There are a variety of viscosity and quality levels available.
• Synthetic oil – the premium oil is designed to last longer. You can often go over 15,000 miles between synthetic oil changes.
• Synthetic blend oil – is better quality than conventional oil, yet more affordable than synthetic oil.
• High-mileage oil – helps protect your vehicle against common high-mileage issues such as leaks.

What’ is a Tire Rotation?
Typically, we recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This includes exchanging your tires’ positions on your vehicle. Tire rotations help to keep your tires from wearing unevenly, which can lead to excessive damage and flats.

Why is My Check Engine Light On?
Your check engine light typically illuminates when there’s an issue with your vehicle’s emissions control system. This can stem from a number of problems in your car. If your check engine light is on, it’s important to visit our service center so we can diagnose the problem.
