When to Change 1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Engine Oil

Need more info about 1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about 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 1989 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, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.

1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet S10 Blazer engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Chevrolet S10 Blazer engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Chevrolet S10 Blazer oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Chevrolet S10 Blazer could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my S10 Blazer's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Chevrolet S10 Blazer during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
