Regular maintenance

What your R1S needs, and when.

EVs skip oil changes, but tires, brakes, filters and the A/C still need attention. Here is what Rivian recommends, and what we check.

  • Tire rotation

    Every 9,000 miles

    With matching front and rear tire sizes. With different sizes, Rivian says to replace both tires on an axle before the wear indicators show.

  • Wheel alignment

    As needed

    Check if tires wear unevenly, the vehicle pulls, or after suspension work or a hard impact.

  • Comprehensive inspection

    Every 18,000 miles or 18 months

    Covers brake pads and rotors, brake fluid moisture, suspension, tires, low-voltage battery, driver-assistance sensors and more.

  • Brake inspection

    At each comprehensive inspection

    Pad and rotor thickness are checked; inspect sooner if you notice noise or vibration.

  • Brake caliper cleaning and lubrication

    Every 12 months or 12,000 miles if driving on salted roads

    Florida roads are not salted, so this usually does not apply here.

  • Brake fluid

    Replace every 3 years

    Moisture content is also tested at each comprehensive inspection.

  • Cabin air filter

    As needed

    Inspected and cleaned at the comprehensive inspection; replaced as needed.

  • A/C desiccant bag

    As needed

    Not listed in Rivian's maintenance schedule.

  • Wiper blades

    As needed

    Rivian lists wiper blades as replace-as-needed. Florida sun is hard on rubber.

  • 12V / low-voltage battery

    At each comprehensive inspection

    Battery, mounting and corrosion are inspected; replace as needed.

  • Air suspension

    Inspect regularly

    Suspension and underbody wear are checked at the comprehensive inspection; we also check air springs and compressor on vehicles so equipped.

  • Coolant

    Replace every 108,000 miles

    Plus the coolant filter on 2022–2024 R1 vehicles.

  • Drive unit fluid

    Every 108,000 miles

    2022–2024 Quad-motor vehicles only.

Intervals based on manufacturer guidance. Where Rivian gives no specific interval, we say “inspect regularly” or “as needed”. Your vehicle’s own manual and app reminders take priority, and intervals can change by model year.
