Life gets busy, and routine maintenance can be easy to push down the to-do list. Still, keeping up with your Chevrolet oil change schedule is one of the most valuable things you can do for your vehicle. From daily commutes through Vancouver, WA, to weekend road trips, clean engine oil helps your Chevrolet perform the way it was designed to. If you're looking for trusted Chevrolet service center, a regular oil change at Alan Webb Chevy is a great place to start. Why Fresh Oil Makes Such a Difference Every mile your Chevrolet travels places demands on the engine. Engine oil creates a protective layer between moving components, helping reduce wear while keeping everything operating smoothly. As time passes, dirt, dust, and microscopic metal particles collect in the oil. Eventually, it loses its ability to protect your engine as effectively as it should. Replacing the oil and filter at the recommended intervals helps maintain performance and supports the long-term health of your vehicle. If you drive a Chevrolet Silverado, Equinox, Traverse, or another model, staying current with routine maintenance helps keep your vehicle ready for whatever comes next. What Can Happen If Oil Changes Are Delayed? Skipping oil changes can create unnecessary stress on your engine. Older oil thickens over time, reducing its ability to circulate through vital engine components. That added friction can increase engine wear and place extra strain on parts that depend on proper lubrication. Drivers may begin noticing reduced fuel efficiency, rougher engine operation, or increased engine noise. Addressing those concerns with a routine oil change is far simpler than dealing with repairs that can result from neglected maintenance. Routine service is one of the easiest ways to help protect your investment while keeping your Chevrolet performing its best around Vancouver and beyond. Knowing When It's Time for Service The ideal oil change interval depends on your Chevrolet model, driving habits, and the type of engine oil specified by the manufacturer. Many newer Chevrolet vehicles use full synthetic oil, allowing for longer service intervals than older vehicles using conventional oil. Your owner's manual provides the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific model. Most modern Chevrolet vehicles also include an Oil Life Monitor system. Instead of relying solely on mileage, this system evaluates driving conditions and alerts you when it's time to schedule service, helping take the guesswork out of vehicle maintenance. Common Questions About Chevrolet Oil Changes Many drivers ask if synthetic oil is worth it. In most cases, the answer is yes. Synthetic oil provides improved protection across a wide range of temperatures and typically maintains its performance longer than conventional oil. Another common question involves switching between conventional and synthetic oil. Many Chevrolet models can make that transition safely, though it's always best to follow your owner's manual or consult a certified Chevrolet service advisor. Some owners also wonder if an oil change is still necessary when they drive very little. Even with lower annual mileage, engine oil naturally ages over time, making regular service an important part of keeping your vehicle in excellent condition. Keep Your Chevrolet Ready for the Road Routine maintenance helps your Chevrolet deliver dependable performance year after year. Along with regular oil changes, staying current with tire rotations, brake inspections, and your factory maintenance schedule helps your vehicle remain ready for every drive.

When it's time for your next visit, schedule your Chevrolet oil change online with Alan Webb Chevrolet and let our service team help keep your vehicle performing at its best throughout Vancouver, WA.

A full -size pickup is useful for many things. Seeing a shopping cart hiding below the tailgate isn't necessarily one of them. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 backs up its size and capability with standard driver-assistance technology, available trailering cameras, and features designed specifically around the realities of driving a large truck. For Vancouver, Washington drivers, Silverado 1500 safety covers everything from freeway traffic to maneuvering a trailer into a space that looked considerably larger from 50 feet away. Chevy Safety Assist Comes Standard Every 2026 Silverado 1500 includes Chevy Safety Assist, so you don't have to climb halfway through the trim lineup before getting useful driver-assistance equipment. The package includes Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam ® automatic high beams. Forward Collision Alert can warn the driver when it detects the possibility of a front-end collision. Automatic Emergency Braking can provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's braking in certain situations. Lane Keep Assist can provide steering input when it detects an unintentional departure from a recognized lane. Parking 1 Is Easier When the Truck Can See More The Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup, which is excellent when you're loading the bed and slightly less excellent when you're squeezing between 2 cars in a crowded parking lot. Available Front and Rear Park Assist can provide alerts when the truck approaches detected objects at low speeds. Available Rear Cross Traffic Braking can detect certain vehicles crossing behind the Silverado while reversing and provide emergency braking when necessary. A Rear Vision Camera comes standard, while available HD Surround Vision provides a broader look at what's happening around the truck. Towing Is Where the Camera System Earns Its Keep The Silverado 1500 can be equipped with up to 8 available cameras providing as many as 14 camera views. Those views can make hitching, maneuvering, and monitoring a trailer considerably less dependent on guesswork. Camera technology is available on LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country models, depending on equipment. Available Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert is another particularly useful Silverado 1500 safety feature. When a compatible trailer is connected, the system can account for its added length and provide visual alerts in the side mirrors when it detects a moving vehicle in the extended blind zone. There Is Still Plenty Happening Without a Screen Not every safety feature needs an animated graphic or menu setting. The 2026 Silverado 1500 includes 4-wheel antilock disc brakes along with StabiliTrak ® Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control. Multiple airbags provide protection around the cabin, including front, side-impact, and roof-rail airbags. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System helps drivers keep tabs on tire inflation, while Rear Seat Reminder can provide a reminder to check the back seat after certain driving conditions. There's also Teen Driver technology, which can provide configurable vehicle settings and an in-vehicle report card. Handing over the keys to a Silverado may still be nerve-racking. At least the truck can provide some backup. Safety Has to Work Alongside Capability The Silverado isn't suddenly a small crossover because Chevrolet added cameras. Its standard TurboMax ™ engine produces 310 hp and 430 lbs. ft. of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. The available 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 produces 355 hp and 383 lbs. ft. of torque, while the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 reaches 420 hp and 460 lbs. ft. of torque. Both V8s are paired with a 10-speed automatic. The available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel produces 305 hp and 495 lbs. ft. of torque with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Properly equipped, the Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 lbs. with the Duramax®. The diesel also carries a best-in-class EPA-estimated highway fuel economy rating of 28 mpg. Find the Silverado That Fits the Job Visit Alan Webb Chevrolet in Vancouver, WA, to compare 2026 Silverado 1500 trims, explore available safety and trailering technology, and find the configuration that matches how you'll use your truck. Once you've narrowed it down, schedule a test drive online and see how those features work from the driver's seat.

A large SUV has to do more than provide 3 rows of seats. It has to accommodate people, luggage, devices, child seats, groceries, sports equipment, and all the other things that tend to come along for the ride. The 2026 Chevy Tahoe interior is designed with that kind of everyday use in mind. For families around Vancouver, WA, the Tahoe combines seating for up to 9 passengers with substantial cargo room, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, and available comfort and technology upgrades. If you're exploring our new Chevrolet inventory, the Tahoe is worth seeing from the inside out. Room for 7, 8, or Even 9 Passenger flexibility is one of the Tahoe's strongest qualities. Depending on configuration, the cabin can accommodate 7, 8, or up to 9 passengers. The 9-passenger arrangement is available on the LS, while other configurations allow families to choose between second-row captain's chairs or a bench seat. Chevrolet's 60/40 split-folding rear seating makes the space more adaptable when passenger and cargo needs overlap. You can fold only part of a row to create room for longer items without giving up every available seat. Comfort also changes as you move through the Tahoe lineup. RST, Premier, and High Country models offer perforated leather seating surfaces, while Premier and High Country include heated and ventilated front seats. Those are welcome additions when Pacific Northwest temperatures shift from chilly mornings to warmer summer afternoons. A 17.7-Inch Touchscreen Takes Center Stage Technology occupies a prominent place in the 2026 Tahoe without making the cabin feel unnecessarily complicated. Every model features a 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen, which Chevrolet identifies as the largest standard center touchscreen in its class. The expansive display provides access to infotainment, navigation, vehicle settings, and compatible connected features. Drivers looking for even more information within their natural sightline can add an available 15-inch Head-Up Display. Tahoe can also be equipped with 8 cameras providing up to 14 different views. In a full-size SUV, those additional perspectives are particularly useful when backing into a tight parking spot, checking your surroundings, or lining up with a trailer. There Is Still Cargo Room Behind the Third Row One of the compromises in some 3-row SUVs is that cargo capacity nearly disappears once every seat is occupied. The Tahoe takes a different approach. There are 25.5 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the third row, so families can carry luggage or everyday gear while keeping all 3 rows available. Fold the third row and capacity expands to 72.5 cu. ft. behind the second row. With both rear rows folded, the Tahoe provides up to 122.7 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume. That flexibility makes the Tahoe useful well beyond the school run. It can transition from carrying the family around Vancouver to hauling camping gear, larger purchases, or luggage for a long road trip without requiring a completely different vehicle. The second-row bench can also accommodate 3 child seats, while the center console and additional cabin storage provide convenient places for the smaller things families bring along every day. Super Cruise® Can Come Along When You're Towing For families who spend plenty of time traveling, available Super Cruise® with Trailering brings another dimension to the Tahoe's technology. The system provides hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads and can be used while towing. Paired with the Tahoe's available camera views and expansive displays, it gives drivers access to technology designed around the realities of operating a large SUV on longer journeys. Drivers comparing full-size Chevrolet SUVs can also explore our Chevrolet Suburban inventory for even more space while retaining many of the Tahoe's familiar technologies and amenities. Find Your Space at Alan Webb Chevrolet The 2026 Chevy Tahoe interior succeeds because its size is put to practical use. Seating for up to 9, 25.5 cu. ft. of cargo room behind the third row, up to 122.7 cu. ft. with the rear rows folded, and a 17.7-inch center touchscreen give families useful space without making technology an afterthought. Browse our new Chevrolet inventory and compare available Tahoe trims to find the seating configuration and features that suit your family. Then s chedule a Tahoe test drive online or visit us in Vancouver, WA, to spend some time inside and see how the space works for you.

Three-row SUVs tend to follow a predictable formula: maximize room, soften everything, add cupholders, repeat. The 2026 Mazda CX-90 paves its own way. It still seats up to 8 passengers and offers substantial cargo capacity, but Mazda has also given it standard AWD, an available 340 hp Inline-6, a plug-in hybrid option, and chassis technology aimed at making the drive itself worth thinking about. For families around Vancouver, Washington, the CX-90 is worth checking out. Big Enough for 8, Without Feeling Like a Box Mazda's KODO: "Soul of Motion" design philosophy gives the CX-90 proportions that look more composed than bulky. Available Piano Black accents and dark chrome badging can push the exterior in a sportier direction. Inside, configuration is important. The CX-90 can seat up to 8 passengers, with a second-row bench or available captain's chairs depending on trim. Cargo capacity begins at 14.9 cu. ft. behind the third row and expands to as much as 74.2 cu. ft. with the second and third rows folded. With the available 2-person second-row captain's chairs, maximum cargo capacity reaches 75.2 cu. ft. Available Nappa leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic moonroof, Bose® audio, and a hands-free rear power liftgate add comfort without changing the fundamental usefulness of the cabin. An Inline-6 Still Has Something to Say The standard powertrain is an e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Turbo Inline-6 paired with an e-SKYACTIV®-Drive 8-speed automatic transmission. Standard 3.3 Turbo versions produce up to 280 hp and 332 lbs. ft. of torque. Turbo S models raise output to 340 hp and 369 lbs. ft. of torque when using recommended premium fuel. EPA -estimated fuel economy for 3.3 Turbo and Turbo S models is 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Mazda also offers the CX-90 PHEV. Its e-SKYACTIV®-PHEV system combines a 2.5L engine with a 68-kW electric motor for 323 hp of total system output. Every CX-90 gets i -ACTIV AWD® as standard. The Chassis Gets Attention, Too Power figures only tell you how quickly an SUV can move. Mazda has also spent time considering what happens once the road bends. Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body roll during cornering, while Mi-Drive provides different operating modes depending on powertrain and trim. Select inline -6 models offer Sport and Off-Road modes, with Towing mode added on applicable higher trims. PHEV versions add EV mode, with Towing mode available on select configurations. Properly equipped inline-6 models can tow between 3,500 and 5,000 lbs., depending on trim and configuration. That's useful capability, but the more interesting part is the combination: a three-row SUV with AWD, towing ability, and chassis systems designed to preserve some connection between driver and road. Six Inline-6 Trims, Plus Three PHEVs The gasoline CX-90 range begins with 3.3 Turbo Select, which includes leatherette-trimmed seating and standard i -ACTIV AWD®. 3.3 Turbo Preferred adds leather-trimmed heated front and second-row seats, 21-inch alloy wheels, and a power sliding-glass moonroof. Premium Sport raises maximum towing capacity to 5,000 lbs. and adds Mi-Drive Sport, Off-Road, and Towing modes. Premium Plus brings Nappa leather-trimmed seating and a 360° View Monitor with See-Through View and Trailer Hitch View. The Turbo S models introduce the 340 hp version of the 3.3L Inline-6. Turbo S Premium Sport adds the Mazda Driver Personalization System, while Turbo S Premium Plus brings equipment including ventilated front and second-row seats and available second-row captain's chairs. PHEV shoppers have 3 separate choices: Preferred, Premium Sport, and Premium Plus. Safety Goes Beyond a Long Equipment List The 2026 CX-90 earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award and a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Its i -ACTIVSENSE® technologies include features such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Assist, Road Keep Assist, and Driver Monitoring, with equipment varying by trim. Available systems include Cruising and Traffic Support with lane centering, Head-On Traffic Avoidance Assist, and a 360° View Monitor. Vehicle Exit Warning is standard and can alert occupants to vehicles or bicycles approaching from behind before they open a door. Connectivity Changes with the Powertrain Mazda Connect™ provides Bluetooth® connectivity along with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. A 3-month SiriusXM® trial subscription and 1 year of Mazda Connected Services are also included. On Inline-6 models, Mazda Connected Services can provide Remote Engine Start through the MyMazda app. PHEV models use connected functionality for features including remote charging and climate control instead. Select models also provide USB-C charging outlets in the second and third rows, because an SUV full of passengers inevitably becomes an SUV full of dying phones. Choose the CX-90 Around the Job Alan Webb Mazda in Vancouver can help you compare the current CX-90 inventory, including the 280 hp 3.3 Turbo, 340 hp Turbo S, and 323 hp PHEV configurations. Compare the seating layouts and equipment that fit your family, then schedule your 2026 Mazda CX-90 test drive online. A three-row SUV must be practical, but it doesn't have to stop there.

Why Is Chevrolet Brake Service So Important? Reliable brakes represent the most critical safety system on your vehicle. We encourage you to reach out to Alan Webb Chevrolet in Vancouver, Washington to learn more about our service options and ensure your vehicle stops when it matters most. Proactive Chevrolet brake service prevents severe and costly future repairs. Drivers of the Silverado, Equinox, or Tahoe know their brakes work hard every day. Brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid wear over time and require regular attention to perform correctly. more How Often Should I Schedule Brake Service? Drivers should inspect their brakes annually or every 12,000 miles. Driving habits, your vehicle model, and daily road conditions influence whether this interval is sooner or later. Stop-and-go commuting, frequent highway driving, and hauling heavy loads accelerate brake wear. The added weight of a larger Chevrolet truck or SUV puts extra demand on the braking system, making routine service essential. What Are the Warning Signs of Worn Brakes? Recognizing early warning signs helps you catch brake problems quickly. Watch for squealing or grinding noises during stops, a spongy brake pedal, vibrations during braking, and longer stopping distances. A dashboard warning light clearly indicates the need for an inspection. Address these signs promptly to maintain road safety for everyone. What Does a Brake Inspection Include? Technicians evaluate the condition and thickness of the brake pads, the rotor surface, brake fluid levels, and the overall integrity of the lines and calipers. They also check for uneven wear, heat damage, and corrosion. Routine maintenance clarifies the status of your brakes. This allows you to resolve small issues before they become major problems. Can I Drive With Worn Brakes? Driving on worn brakes compromises your safety. As brake pads wear down, stopping distances increase and elevate accident risks. Advanced wear causes metal-on-metal contact that damages rotors, transforming a simple pad replacement into a highly expensive repair. Maintaining brake health remains highly relevant for drivers facing wet weather, as rain dramatically affects stopping distances and component wear. How Can I Help My Brakes Last Longer? Safe driving habits extend the life of your brakes. Avoid sudden stops, maintain a safe following distance in traffic, and slow down gradually. Scheduled service catches wear early, allowing technicians to make minor adjustments before replacing major components. Routine brake fluid checks prevent degraded fluid from reducing braking effectiveness. Visit Us for Chevrolet Brake Service Reliable brakes guarantee your safety. If you need a routine inspection or notice something unusual, our team at Alan Webb Chevrolet in Vancouver, WA stands ready to help. Visit our service center to handle all your brake maintenance needs, ensuring confident stopping in a vehicle you trust.

If you're thinking about upgrading your current vehicle, you probably have a few questions. This trade-in FAQ will walk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect before you ever step foot in a showroom. Whether you're in the market for a new Chevy SUV, truck, or electric vehicle, understanding how to trade in your car in Vancouver, Washington, can make the whole experience a lot smoother. more What Is a Trade-In and How Does It Work? A trade-in is when you hand over your current vehicle to a dealership as part of the payment toward your next purchase. The dealer evaluates your car, assigns it a value, and applies that amount to reduce what you owe on your new vehicle. This trade-in FAQ covers the key steps so you feel confident going in. How Is My Trade-In Value Determined? Several factors affect your trade-in value. These include your vehicle's make, model, year, mileage, overall condition, and current market demand. A well-maintained car wotj lower mileage will typically receive a higher offer. Minor cosmetic repairs can sometimes help, but major mechanical issues will reduce the number. Should I Pay Off My Car Before Trading It In? Not necessarily. If you still owe money on your current vehicle, that balance is called "negative equity." Dealers can often roll that amount into your new loan, though it does affect your overall financing. If you owe less than the trade-in value, the difference works in your favor and reduces what you finance on your next vehicle. What Should I Bring When I Trade-in My Car? When you arrive, bring your vehicle title or loan account information, a valid driver's license, your vehicle registration, and any service records you have. Having documentation ready helps the process move quickly. If there are two owners on the title, both may need to be present or sign paperwork depending on your state. How Do I Get the Most Out of My Trade-In? Knowing how to trade in your car the right way means being prepared. Give your vehicle a good cleaning inside and out before your appointment. Gather your service records and take note of any recent repairs or upgrades. Getting a general idea of your vehicle's market value ahead of time can also help you feel confident during the appraisal conversation. Can I Trade in My Car Even If It Has High Mileage or Damage? Yes. Most vehicles can be traded in regardless of condition. High-mileage or damaged vehicles will receive lower offers, but they can still be accepted. Every trade-in is different, and the appraisal process is designed to give you a fair assessment of what your car is worth in its current state. Is It Better to Trade-in or Sell Privately? Trading in is often more convenient, even if a private sale might net a slightly higher number. With a trade-in, you avoid the hassle of listing your vehicle, managing inquiries, and coordinating handoffs. The trade-in amount is also applied directly to your purchase, which can simplify the overall transaction. Visit Alan Webb Chevrolet in Vancouver, WA We hope this trade-in FAQ has answered your biggest questions and helped clarify how to trade-in your car with confidence—but at Alan Webb Chevrolet we’re happy to help.

If you're searching for a compact SUV that balances everyday practicality, modern features and outstanding efficiency, a used Chevy Equinox deserves a spot at the top of your list. Whether you're commuting daily through Vancouver, Washington, or just want a reliable, fun-to-drive SUV, the Equinox has consistently delivered the kind of experience that keeps buyers coming back. more What Makes the Used Chevrolet Equinox Stand Out One of the strongest arguments for buying a used Chevy Equinox comes down to its track record. Chevrolet's Equinox earned recognition as America's Most Awarded Compact SUV for Vehicle Quality by J.D. Power from 2015 through 2024. That's a decade of quality recognition. That consistency matters when you're buying pre-owned. A used Chevrolet Equinox also gives you access to a well-rounded feature set at a more accessible price point. Even older model years included the 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 175 hp and up to 203 lbs.-ft. of torque, available all-wheel drive, heated front seats and steering wheel, and an infotainment touchscreen. Trim Options Give You Room to Choose One of the reasons drivers ask why they should buy a used Chevy Equinox is the variety of trims available in the used market. The all-essentials LT trim is comfortable, practical with up to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo space, and well-equipped with standard features, even in older models. The sporty RS leans more stylish, with sportier exterior cues like a unique grille, black badges, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. If you prefer something with a little more rugged personality, the ACTIV trim brings all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and a refined interior with sueded microfiber seating. There's genuinely something for every type of driver in the Equinox lineup. Technology and Connectivity A used Chevy Equinox from recent model years comes loaded with tech that still feels current. The 11.3” infotainment touchscreen is easy to use and oriented toward the driver for quick access. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility means you can connect your phone without digging for a cable. More recent models offer Google built-in integration which lets you use Google Assistant for voice commands, and available OnStar® connectivity provides an added layer of convenience and security. These aren't features you have to give up just because you're going pre-owned. Safety Features That Still Impress The Equinox has long prioritized driver confidence behind the wheel. Standard Chevy Safety Assist includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® automatic headlights. This standard lineup is found in all recent model years. Available features like HD Surround Vision, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking round out a safety package that holds up well even in older model years. For families and daily commuters alike, that peace of mind is a real selling point. Cargo Space and Everyday Versatility The Equinox's interior is one of its most practical assets. With up to 63.5 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume and a folding 60/40 split-bench rear seat, you get genuine flexibility for everything from grocery runs to moving weekend gear. Hidden storage under the rear cargo floor helps keep the space organized, and the available hands-free AutoSense® Power Liftgate adds convenience when your hands are full. These are all features found in recent model years of the Equinox, and found often in used options.
