Should I check my GMC Savana 3500 motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Savana 3500’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change GMC Savana 3500 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my GMC Savana 3500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my GMC Savana 3500 to illuminate?

Your GMC Savana 3500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to replace my Savana 3500’s oil filter when changing my oil?

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your GMC Savana 3500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
