2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Chevrolet Suburban 1500 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Suburban 1500’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Chevrolet Suburban 1500 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 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. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chevrolet Suburban 1500? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 Suburban 1500 oil light illuminated? Your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Suburban 1500's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
