Chevrolet recommends changing your 1985 K10 Suburban’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your K10 Suburban in the above table. Your K10 Suburban may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1985 Chevrolet K10 Suburban Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet K10 Suburban motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet K10 Suburban 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 K10 Suburban 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K10 Suburban spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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 the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet K10 Suburban oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet K10 Suburban oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K10 Suburban oil light illuminated? Your Chevrolet K10 Suburban 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet K10 Suburban? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet K10 Suburban 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.
