Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine.

Chevrolet recommends having your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Silverado 1500 in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Silverado 1500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Silverado 1500’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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? Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my Silverado 1500's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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.
