2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Silverado 2500 HD’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 2500 HD oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 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 2500 HD? 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 change my Silverado 2500 HD's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 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.
