Chevrolet recommends having your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

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.

2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Silverado 3500 HD’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray 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, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

  • What can cause the oil light on my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD to illuminate? 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.
