Buick Maintenance

This crucial service should be performed every 7,500 miles.

To optimize their life, a vehicle’s tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles.

Driving with worn wiper blades is a safety hazard. Have them inspected seasonally and replace them if they’re damaged or no longer clear the windshield adequately. 

Your Buick Certified Service provider can perform a multi-point inspection* and check your vehicle for maintenance and service needs at any time.

The brake pads and rotors should be inspected for wear, but if squeaking or squealing is currently heard when braking, don’t wait. Have the brakes inspected immediately.  

Somewhere around 12,000-15,000 miles, it will likely be time to replace the engine’s air filter. Doing it with every other oil change is a good idea, too.

After about two years on the road, or around 22,500-24,000 miles, the cabin air filter should be inspected and likely replaced.

Deposits or residue in the fuel system can affect performance and efficiency. A fuel system cleaning helps alleviate that.

The first major brake service likely will come between 40,000 and 60,000 miles. It will include replacement of the brake pads and rotors.

Tire life varies greatly, but somewhere after 30,000 miles, tire replacement will be required. If the tread depth is 1/16th of an inch or less, it’s definitely time for new tires.

A vehicle’s battery is good for about four or five years, which is generally around 60,000 miles of service. After that, it’s likely time for a replacement.

By around 60,000 miles the engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) should be flushed and replaced with new. 

The heat and wear and tear of everyday driving is hard on an engine’s belts and hoses. They should be inspected and possibly replaced by about 70,000 miles. 

Also around 70,000 miles, the transmission fluid should be inspected. Some vehicles may have a flush and replacement recommended, along with a filter change.

Shocks and struts help maintain ride comfort. Somewhere between 60,000 and 75,000 miles, have them inspected to ensure they’re still doing their job.

Not every vehicle has this need, but for those that do, it is a crucial service that comes in around the 100,000-mile mark. Check the owner’s manual or ask a service advisor to confirm whether it’s required for your vehicle.

The recommended service life for most spark plugs is about 100,000 miles. Replacement at that point is recommended for most vehicles.

The differential channels engine power to the wheels. The same goes for the transfer case on a vehicle with 4WD. As the odometer approaches 100,000 miles, have them inspected. A fluid change may be recommended.
