Oil Change Q&A for Your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Silverado 1500’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
