Can GMCs get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your GMC G1500’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Is GMC's recommended maintenance really that important?

Use your manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule to help prevent costly repairs later. Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Follow the maintenance schedule written by GMC to keep your car in its best possible condition. After all, the cheapest kind of repair is one that never has to happen!

What should I tell the technician when I bring my GMC to the shop?

Listen to your car (and your gut!). As the person who drives your vehicle day in and day out, you know it best! When you notice something that feels different while driving or just feels “off” to you, trust your gut! Often, small issues can be easily fixed if they’re caught early. But, letting even minor issues linger can spell real trouble for your car down the road. Don’t wait to get a repair service for your GMC G1500.
