Chevrolet recommends changing your 2004 Trailblazer EXT’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Trailblazer EXT in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Trailblazer EXT may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
