What can low oil do to my GMC Savana 3500 engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Savana 3500’s 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 Savana 3500 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my GMC exhaust smoke gray or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Who offers GMC Savana 3500 oil changes?

What does it mean if my GMC Savana 3500 oil light comes on?

Your GMC Savana 3500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

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

It's recommended that you replace your GMC Savana 3500 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
