Written by the PickupChain team · Last reviewed October 17, 2026
Regular maintenance is the best value on any truck. The basics are engine oil and filter, air filter, cabin filter, spark plugs, drive belt and fluids for transmission, differentials, transfer case, brakes and coolant.
Use the oil grade and specification in your owner's manual, for example 5W-30 or 0W-20 with an API or manufacturer approval. Towing, short trips, dust and extreme temperatures count as severe service and call for shorter intervals.
Service kits bundle the filters and parts for a specific interval and engine. They save time and make sure you do not miss a part.
Frequently Asked Questions
+How often should I change my truck's oil?
Follow the oil life monitor or the interval in your owner's manual, commonly 5,000 to 10,000 miles with synthetic oil. Use the severe-service schedule if you tow often or drive short trips.
+When should spark plugs be replaced?
Most modern iridium or platinum plugs last 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Turbocharged engines may need them sooner. Misfires and rough idle are warning signs.
+How do I know my serpentine belt is worn?
Look for cracks across the ribs, glazing or missing chunks, and listen for squealing on cold starts. Replace the tensioner if it is noisy or bouncing.
