Your 2013 Volt’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Volt may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Volt. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
