Why check the motor oil level in my GMC Savana 1500?

How hard is it to change GMC Savana 1500 oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly.

Why is my GMC Savana 1500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
