2024 Chevrolet Silverado – First-Service Checklist at Eason’s Car Centre
The very first log-book service is a critical milestone for any new vehicle, and for a full-sized American pickup like the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium, it is even more important.
Last week our technicians welcomed this brand-new “bow-tie” into the workshop for its initial 12 000 km / 12-month service — the point where engine oil, filters and driveline checks set the baseline for years of reliable towing and touring.
What our team completed
| Service item | Why it matters for your Silverado |
|---|---|
| Genuine oil filter & approved engine oil | Protects the 313 kW 6.2-L V8 and keeps GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) warranty intact. |
| Driveline & transfer-case inspection | Vital on a 4×4 that can legally tow up to 4.5 tonnes braked. |
| Digital service record upload | Your maintenance history is stored in GM’s global database, safeguarding resale value. |
| ADAS calibration scan | Confirms Lane-Keep Assist, Front Pedestrian Braking and the Silverado’s 13-view Trailering Camera Suite are operating perfectly. |
| Courtesy loan car | So the owner could keep moving while their rig received VIP treatment. |
Silverado owners often ask …
“Will a non-dealer service void my warranty?”
Not when it’s done at Eason’s. We use GM-specified parts, follow the factory schedule and record the job in GM’s online system — exactly what the Australian Consumer Law requires to keep your new-car warranty intact.
“How often should I service if I tow?”
GM recommends oil and filter changes at 12 000 km, but heavy towing (think horse floats, caravans or large boats) can accelerate wear. We’ll tailor an interval based on your usage and the Silverado’s onboard Oil Life Monitoring System.
“Can you handle a truck this big?”
Absolutely. Our extra-length hoists, 4-tonne jacks and HD scan-tools are set up for American pickups and European vans alike, so your Silverado fits right in.
Why choose Eason’s for your American pickup?
Dealer-level diagnostics – we run the same GM GDS2 software used at factory outlets.
30+ years of prestige expertise – trusted by Western Victorian motorists since 1981.
