2012 Chevrolet Express 1500 Oil Change Service

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 Chevrolet Express 1500? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2012 Express 1500’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Express 1500 in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Express 1500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2012 Chevrolet Express 1500 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Chevrolet has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2012 Express 1500. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your Express 1500’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Express 1500 by considering your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
