Your 1994 K1500’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your K1500 in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your K1500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet K1500.
