Can GMCs get engine sludge?

GMC G3500 engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using GMC-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.

Is GMC's recommended maintenance really that important?

Yes! GMC has written a maintenance schedule for your G3500. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

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

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty GMC G3500, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

What does a radiator do, anyway? It assists in keeping your engine temperature within a safe range.
