Chevrolet recommends having your 1988 Chevrolet V20 Suburban’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your V20 Suburban may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet V20 Suburban. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1988 Chevrolet V20 Suburban Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Chevrolet V20 Suburban motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Chevrolet V20 Suburban engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Chevrolet V20 Suburban oil at home? 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 V20 Suburban spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of 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 worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chevrolet V20 Suburban oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Chevrolet V20 Suburban oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Chevrolet V20 Suburban to illuminate? The oil change light in your Chevrolet V20 Suburban 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chevrolet V20 Suburban? You should replace your Chevrolet V20 Suburban 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.
