![]() Every 250 miles or weekly, whichever comes first ![]() In many cases the initial maintenance check is done by the dealer at no cost (check with the service department when you buy the truck for more information). ![]() When the vehicle is new, follow the maintenance schedule to the letter, record it in your owner’s manual and keep all receipts to protect the warranty and resale value. If you drive in dusty areas, tow a trailer, idle or drive at low speeds for extended periods, or drive for short periods (less than four miles at a time) in below freezing temperatures, even smaller intervals are recommended. Because frequent maintenance enhances the efficiency, performance and resale value of your Jeep, we encourage you to follow our schedule. These are our recommended minimum maintenance intervals for vehicles that are driven daily, and in many cases are shorter than the factory’s recommendations. The following intervals are based on the assumption that you will be doing the service work yourself, as opposed to paying to have the work done.

Most of these recommended routine maintenance tasks you can do yourself at home for practically no money, as long as you have a few simple tools and the time to invest. What follows is our quick reference guide for the 2005-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2010-2017 GMC Terrain, and 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent SUVs taken directly from Haynes manual 3 8040. You no longer need to do a tune-up every six months or change the oil every three months, but regular service and check-ups are still essential to your vehicle’s longevity. Modern vehicles need much less maintenance than the vehicles of 25 years ago, but they still need fluid changes, inspections, and adjustments.
