Chevrolet recommends having your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Silverado 2500 HD may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
