How Often to Change 2011 Chevrolet Aveo5 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Chevrolet Aveo5’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Chevrolet recommends having your 2011 Chevrolet Aveo5’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Aveo5 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet Aveo5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
