Oil Change Q&A for Your 1999 Chevrolet C1500 Suburban

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your C1500 Suburban’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet C1500 Suburban oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban? The oil change light in your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my C1500 Suburban’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
