Oil Change Q&A for Your 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Express 3500 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Express 3500 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Express 3500 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 also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Express 3500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet Express 3500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Express 3500 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 3500 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Express 3500 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 3500’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Express 3500 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
