Chevrolet recommends changing your 2003 Silverado 1500 HD’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Silverado 1500 HD in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Silverado 1500 HD 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 terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
