Your Express 3500 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

2018 Chevrolet Express 3500 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Express 3500 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Express 3500’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet Express 3500 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. 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. 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.
  • Who offers Chevrolet Express 3500 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Chevrolet Express 3500 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Chevrolet Express 3500? 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.
  • Does my Express 3500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet Express 3500, 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.
