Why check the motor oil level in my GMC C2500?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your GMC C2500 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my GMC 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.
