Chevrolet recommends having your 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. 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, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 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 Trailblazer EXT oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my Trailblazer EXT’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 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.
