1990 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? 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, overheat, 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? 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? 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 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. 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.
  • Do I need to change my S10 Blazer's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet S10 Blazer 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.
