Chevrolet recommends having your 1999 Chevrolet Express 1500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Express 1500 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet Express 1500. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving preferences, and odometer.

1999 Chevrolet Express 1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Express 1500? 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 Express 1500’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Express 1500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet Express 1500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Express 1500 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Express 1500 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Express 1500 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Express 1500’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chevrolet Express 1500 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
