Oil Change Q&A for Your 1983 Chevrolet K5 Blazer

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet K5 Blazer? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Chevrolet K5 Blazer engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K5 Blazer exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro 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.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Chevrolet K5 Blazer to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my K5 Blazer's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet K5 Blazer 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.
