Consumer Review Video - 2013 Chevrolet Traverse LS 3.6L V6
The 2013 Chevrolet Traverse LS is a relatively difficult van to maintain, and is only recommended for those experienced in vehicle maintenance. Changing the headlight can be a problem, as you will have to peel back the wheel well lining for access to the bulb. This will require some tools you may not have readily available for a repair. The engine air filter is difficult to access with reliability, as you will need to remove torx bolts for access to the filter. Other models make this filter much easier to change. Access the battery is tough, as it is located in a more cramped location than usual, and will require the use of many tools in order to complete.
Some things are easier on the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse LS. Both the front and rear wiper blades are easier to replace than on other models. No tools will be required for changing the blades. Checking the oil level is easy to do, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. The brake fluid reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level with reliability.
