How Often to Get 1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.

Chevrolet recommends changing your 1987 S10 Blazer’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S10 Blazer in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your S10 Blazer 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet S10 Blazer. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet S10 Blazer motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your S10 Blazer’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. 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 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. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil change reminder light.

  • Do I need to change my S10 Blazer's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chevrolet S10 Blazer every time you change the oil.
