GMC recommends changing your 1987 R2500’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your R2500 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than GMC recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your GMC R2500. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
