Managing TurboMax Heat and Towing Wear

The 2.7L TurboMax engine generates an incredible 430 lb-ft of torque, when properly equipped. This forced-induction system produces intense internal heat, especially when you are pulling a heavy trailer. Regular oil changes are absolutely vital. Fresh synthetic oil cools the turbocharger bearings and prevents internal friction. 

We follow strict factory guidelines to provide the highest quality pickup truck care in Mower County. You can verify safety updates for your specific VIN by checking the official NHTSA recall database, or consult the Chevrolet certified service portal for broader maintenance guidelines.
