Your 2017 Silverado 1500’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Silverado 1500. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Silverado 1500? 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, overheat, and cause your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500 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 with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Silverado 1500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? 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.
