When to Change 2006 Chevrolet SSR Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 Chevrolet SSR? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2006 SSR’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SSR in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your SSR may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, 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, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet SSR. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
