What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Blazer engine?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Chevrolet Blazer engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Chevrolet Blazer oil at home?
