1998 Chevrolet C1500 Suburban Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
