22,500 Mile Service: What helped?

Hope y'all are havin a good day!

So i have the 22,500 mile service coming up on my 2015 2SS. I bought it certified pre-owned at 10k miles and i've gotten tires changed and rotated , oil changed once (next one's coming up), and the dealer's run of the mill 72 point inspection.

So i know Chevy recommends only an oil change, tire rotation and a cabin filter replacement at 22.5k miles, but i'm looking for opinions on what else others have gotten done that actually HELPED.

1) Did you change any other fluid and see a positive difference?
2) I have both a squeak and a hum on my brakes like the others, though i hear the hum only when releasing from a standstill. Do i get the brake pads or fluid looked at?
3) Any other maintenance (assuming i wanna keep this baby like brand new for 10+ years)?

When I had mine in, I had the filters changed, but not the oil; I also had them do a full inspection. I only have my oil changed when the DIC tells me the oil life is at or just below 25%. The dealership I take mine to will not change the oil on any of my vehicles until it reaches this point or 1 year since the last time it was changed (which ever comes first) unless I request it before then.


Given what you've posted about your brakes, I would definitely have them inspect your brakes.

Brake squeak is pretty normal on the Brembos especially if you apply light pedal pressure on the pedal and then it goes away when you press harder. A few hard stops once in a while seems to help that I've found too. Depending on driving style its possible the brakes could need attention. I did my pads around 25K or so but I'm nearly all stop and go around town when I drive it. And they were basically done at that point. Others went much further than I did so it depends on usage.

The hum or whatever it is isn't normal. Is it possible its tire noise you are hearing?

I've always been told you can have quiet brakes or you can have performance brakes. Hard to have both.

Nah it's definitely not the tires. It's the sound of metal going taut against metal (kind of like the Staten Island ferry when it hits the dock).

I only hear it when i release brakes from a standstill... never otherwise

Have the plugs at least looked at. Mine were just changed at 18k miles, and were pretty bad. (worn electrodes)
