Chevrolet recommends changing your 2004 Silverado 3500’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Silverado 3500 in the above table. Your Silverado 3500 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 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. 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 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet Silverado 3500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Silverado 3500 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 my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 oil light illuminated? Your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my Silverado 3500's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Chevrolet Silverado 3500, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
