Oil Change Q&A for Your 1984 Chevrolet K30

  • Why is my Chevrolet K30 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
