Chevrolet recommends having your 1997 Chevrolet S10’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your S10 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet S10. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
