1995 GMC K1500 Suburban Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my GMC K1500 Suburban? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to GMC K1500 Suburban engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC K1500 Suburban oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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.
  • Why is my GMC K1500 Suburban spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers GMC K1500 Suburban oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our GMC K1500 Suburban oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my GMC K1500 Suburban? Your GMC K1500 Suburban oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my GMC K1500 Suburban? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your GMC K1500 Suburban every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
