When to Change 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Chevrolet recommends having your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Silverado 2500 in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Silverado 2500 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet Silverado 2500. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Need?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Chevrolet has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2000 Silverado 2500. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Silverado 2500's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Silverado 2500 by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
