GMC recommends having your 1991 GMC K1500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your K1500 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your GMC K1500. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1991 GMC K1500

  • Should I check my GMC K1500 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change GMC K1500 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil 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 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

  • What does it mean if my GMC K1500 oil light comes on? Your GMC K1500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.
