How Often to Get 1985 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Chevrolet K5 Blazer’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Chevrolet recommends changing your 1985 K5 Blazer’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your K5 Blazer in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your K5 Blazer may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1985 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet K5 Blazer motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Chevrolet K5 Blazer engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • 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 help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K5 Blazer exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Chevrolet K5 Blazer oil light comes on? Your Chevrolet K5 Blazer 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.
  • Does my K5 Blazer's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chevrolet K5 Blazer every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
