Oil Change Q&A for Your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD 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 Silverado 1500 HD? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD 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 replace my Silverado 1500 HD’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
