2012 Chevrolet Express 2500 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Express 2500? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Express 2500 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet Express 2500 oil at home? 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray or blue? 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does 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.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Express 2500 oil light illuminated? Your Chevrolet Express 2500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my Express 2500’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet Express 2500, 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.
