1996 Chevrolet Express 2500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Express 2500 engine? 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 eventually lead to Chevrolet Express 2500 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Express 2500 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 Express 2500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet Express 2500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet Express 2500 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Chevrolet Express 2500 to illuminate? The oil change light in your Chevrolet Express 2500 could be triggered by an overdue oil change.

  • Does my Express 2500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chevrolet Express 2500 every time you change the oil.
