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 K1500’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?

Yes! GMC has written a maintenance schedule for your K1500. 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.

How much information should I provide the technician about my GMC?

When you bring your GMC K1500 in for a repair service, give your technician as much information as possible. What's your driving style? What type of conditions do you drive in? Do you haul heavy loads? When and what was the last service you had if it was at a different repair shop? This information can help them make an informed diagnosis.

Repairs for Your GMC K1500 Radiator

Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down. In order to keep your engine in excellent shape for years to come, radiator repair is crucial. Additionally, GMC’s maintenance guidelines recommend that you replace the coolant in your 1989 GMC K1500 at regular intervals. If you have coolant leaks under your car, an illuminated “low coolant” light, or a higher than usual engine temperature on your dashboard thermometer, these signs could indicate that your radiator needs service.
