Oil Change Q&A for Your 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban

  • Why check the motor oil level in my GMC R2500 Suburban? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts.

  • Can I change my GMC oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my GMC R2500 Suburban exhaust smoke grayish or blue? 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, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does GMC R2500 Suburban oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your GMC R2500 Suburban oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my GMC R2500 Suburban oil light illuminated? Your GMC R2500 Suburban oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change.
