Why check the motor oil level in my GMC Savana 3500?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess 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.

Can I change my GMC Savana 3500 oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my GMC Savana 3500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
