2026 GMC Sierra EV Maintenance Schedule

 

 

 

The End of Oil Changes

One of the most compelling reasons to switch to the 2026 GMC Sierra EV is the drastic reduction in maintenance. There is no engine oil to change, no transmission fluid to flush, no spark plugs to replace, and no timing belts to break. For a business owner in Shelby County, this means less downtime and lower operating costs over the life of the truck.

The Sierra EV Maintenance Schedule

While the list is shorter, your truck still requires care to ensure safety and longevity.

• Every 7,500 Miles: Rotate tires. EVs are heavy and have instant torque, which can wear tires faster if not rotated regularly. Check coolant levels (for the battery thermal management system).
• Every 22,500 Miles: Replace the cabin air filter. Check windshield wiper blades.
• Every 45,000 Miles: Replace hood and/or body lift support gas struts.
• Every 75,000 Miles: Replace hood and/or body lift support gas struts.
• Every 150,000 Miles: Drain and fill the battery coolant loops.

 

 

Brakes That Last Longer

	The Sierra EV utilizes Regenerative Braking, which uses the electric motors to slow the truck down while recharging the battery. This “One-Pedal Driving” capability means you barely use the physical friction brakes. It is not uncommon for EV brake pads to last 100,000 miles or more, saving you hundreds of dollars in service.

8-Year/100,000-Mile Battery Warranty

Your investment is protected. The Ultium battery pack and electric drive components are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. At Chesrown Chevrolet of Sidney, our technicians are high-voltage certified to perform any warranty work or diagnostics your Sierra EV might need.

“Severe Duty” Still Applies

If you use your Sierra EV for towing heavy farm equipment or frequent off-roading in Sidney, you still fall under “Severe Duty.” This mainly affects your tires and suspension components. We recommend more frequent inspections of the ball joints, tie rods, and bushings, as the weight of the battery pack puts extra stress on these parts.
