2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, 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.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 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 the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 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.
