Should I check my Chevrolet Trailblazer motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Trailblazer’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

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. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Chevrolet Trailblazer exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Chevrolet Trailblazer to illuminate?

Do I need to replace my Trailblazer’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Chevrolet Trailblazer during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
