2012 Chevrolet Camaro Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Camaro motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Chevrolet Camaro engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Camaro oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Camaro exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet Camaro oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet Camaro oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Chevrolet Camaro? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Camaro oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Camaro's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Chevrolet Camaro during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
