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

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your GMC Savana 1500 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my GMC oil on my own?

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. 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.
