GMC recommends having your 1983 GMC K2500 Suburban’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your K2500 Suburban in the above table. No matter the mileage, your K2500 Suburban may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than GMC recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your GMC K2500 Suburban. 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.
Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your GMC K2500 Suburban.

Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine.

You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your K2500 Suburban by considering your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.
