Owners of new Chevrolet Traverse must ensure their SUV receives routine maintenance, including oil and filter changes.
Motor oil is essential to keeping your engine functioning at optimal efficiency. It
collects dirt and dust particles, transporting them directly to the oil filter for disposal
while protecting components against corrosion.
Oil Filter
Your 2021 Chevy Traverse oil filter is one of the key components to keeping its
engine functioning at optimal levels. Specifically designed to filter out dirt, dust,
metal shavings and other contaminants from engine oil – particles which could
otherwise damage its components if left undetected – an efficient filter protects its
engine from potential problems caused by contamination.
Your car’s manufacturer and dealer are responsible for overseeing its maintenance
needs, and will advise the best motor oil for your SUV – either conventional or
synthetic – which should be applied.
For optimal vehicle performance, make sure that when it comes time to replacing
engine oil and oil filters on your Chevy Traverse with OEM parts. OEM parts are
custom-crafted for each car’s specific model specifications – meaning you get
optimal fit and performance every time! When searching for high-quality OEM oil
filters from Quaker State or Pennzoil brands like Quaker State or Pennzoil that offer
advanced technology providing superior protection in extreme temperatures as well
as increased oxidation resistance they provide excellent solutions.
Oil Change
At an oil change, technicians drain away old oil, take steps to recycle its filter,
replace it with a new one and fill your 2021 Chevy Traverse with the correct amount
of conventional or synthetic motor oil. In addition, they refill and inspect other filters,
top off essential fluids as necessary and offer free inspection services.
No matter if your engine uses conventional or synthetic oil, it is advised that a
service visit be scheduled every 7,500 miles. Your car may require more frequent
service if it frequently drives on dirt roads, transports heavy loads or goes off-roading.
Once your car reaches 22,500 miles, it’s time to visit the service department for
another engine oil change. At this service visit, technicians will perform another oil
change with filter replacement and visual inspection of steering suspension brakes
fuel and exhaust systems plus any necessary air cleaner filter replacements that
protect against overheating of your engine by clearing away dust and dirt particles
that might otherwise cause its performance to degrade prematurely.
Tire Rotation
Tires on your 2021 Traverse are integral components of its performance and
responsiveness, and without proper care could cause your SUV to pull to one side
while driving or feel bumpy when moving forward.
At 45,000 miles, your service technician will perform most of the same services as at
22,500 miles; additionally, he or she will inspect the SUV’s evaporative control
system – this involves fuel and vapor lines being checked for leaks or wear and tear.
As part of your visit, you’ll also have an opportunity to upgrade to higher-grade
motor oil products such as Quaker State or Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic that
offers improved performance at extreme temperatures as well as superior oxidation
resistance. High mileage oil options also help reduce engine wear while minimising
oil consumption and premature wear on components.
Tire Pressure
Your 2021 Chevy Traverse SUV was built to help you travel from Point A to B with
ease, but its longevity relies on proper maintenance of all its parts, particularly its
tires. Properly balanced and pressurized tires improve traction, responsiveness,
efficiency, fuel economy – even fuel savings! To check tire pressure using either the
UTQG code or Department of Transportation number.
With proper maintenance and care, the tires on a Chevrolet Traverse can last three
years or more when maintained with care. Consult your owner’s manual or service
