How Often to Change 2006 GMC Envoy Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 GMC Envoy? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

GMC recommends changing your 2006 Envoy’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Envoy may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by GMC if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your GMC Envoy. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
