Chevrolet recommends having your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Silverado 3500 HD may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Chevrolet has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2012 Silverado 3500 HD. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine.
