When to Change 2016 Chevrolet Impala Engine Oil

Need more info about 2016 Chevrolet Impala oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2016 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. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Impala may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, 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. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Chevrolet Impala Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2016 Chevrolet Impala motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Chevrolet has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2016 Impala.

During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Impala’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Impala by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

2016 Chevrolet Impala Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Impala engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Impala engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet Impala oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 Impala exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet Impala oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Impala 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 the oil light on in my Chevrolet Impala? Your Chevrolet Impala oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet Impala? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Impala 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.
