2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Silverado 2500 HD.

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD enters its model year with a notably quiet reliability footprint, logging just 19 total owner complaints and zero recalls to date. With the leading complaint category recorded as "Unknown Or Other," no clear pattern has emerged to signal a systemic issue across the platform. That sparse complaint volume, combined with a clean recall record, suggests this model year is off to one of the cleaner starts in the heavy-duty lineup's recent history. For researchers tracking durability trends, the data so far points to a stable launch rather than an emerging concern.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 97,500 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.
