The GMC Canyon is a great choice for Omaha drivers who are looking for a small pickup truck that doesn’t skimp on performance specs or luxury details. There are four trim levels to choose from, including the top-level Denali trim, each of which offers its own unique advantages. No matter what, the Canyon comes with a powerhouse towing capacity–up to 7,700 pounds–impressive performance specs, and plenty of advanced features inside and out.

If you own a GMC Canyon, you’ll want to keep it running in the best condition possible by bringing it in for regular service appointments. These service appointments are typically performed every 7,500 miles according to the GMC maintenance schedule, and involve anything from a routine oil change to replacement of the fuel filter, shock absorbers, and more. The service team at Sid Dillon Buick GMC Fremont has a basic overview of the GMC Canyon maintenance schedule in the guide below – check it out!

Standard GMC Canyon Service Schedule

If you stick to the GMC Canyon maintenance schedule and you drive your truck regularly, you’ll probably be coming in for a service appointment every 7 to 8 months. As we said above, the GMC service schedule runs on intervals of 7,500 miles each, all the way up to 150,000 miles! That’s over a decade of drive time and involves replacing most of your truck’s key components under the hood. Basic appointments, however, usually only involve things like changing the oil, inspecting the brakes, and rotating the tires. We’ve listed the five most important service milestones below:

After 7,500 miles: 

• Rotate tires

DIY GMC Canyon Maintenance

While the most important thing you can do to maintain your pickup truck is to bring it in for regular service, there are some at-home inspections you can do right from your Lincoln garage. We recommend performing these once a month to make sure everything is working properly, although it’s up to you. Here’s what you can do:

• Check to see if the check engine light is on
• Clean the interior and exterior
• Make sure all the interior and exterior lights work
• Check tire pressure and tread
• Make sure windshield wiper fluid is filled
