Should I check my GMC C2500 motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to GMC C2500 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

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. 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 also help your car perform down the road.
