Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Chevrolet recommends changing your 2009 Silverado 3500 HD’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Silverado 3500 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 excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Silverado 3500 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 3500 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil light comes on? Your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Silverado 3500 HD's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD every time you change the oil.
