When to Change 2019 Chevrolet Sonic Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2019 Chevrolet Sonic? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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 2019 Sonic’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Sonic may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Sonic. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
