Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2009 Chevrolet Impala? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2009 Impala’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Impala in the above table. Your Impala 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Impala. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
