2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Silverado 2500 HD’s engine to fail. 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. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD oil light comes on? 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? 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.
