  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet S10 Blazer engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet S10 Blazer spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. 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 S10 Blazer oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet S10 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.
  • Does my S10 Blazer's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet S10 Blazer, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
