When to Change 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1999 Monte Carlo’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Monte Carlo in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Monte Carlo 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Monte Carlo? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Monte Carlo engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Monte Carlo oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet Monte Carlo oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet Monte Carlo oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Chevrolet Monte Carlo oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet Monte Carlo? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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.
