2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 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.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Silverado 2500 HD’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 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.
