2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD Oil Change Q&A

  • 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 you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD engine failure. 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. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD oil light comes on? Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.
