Oil Change Q&A for Your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD

  • Should I check my GMC Sierra 1500 HD motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to GMC Sierra 1500 HD engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change GMC Sierra 1500 HD oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 1500 HD exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does GMC Sierra 1500 HD oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your GMC Sierra 1500 HD oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my GMC Sierra 1500 HD to illuminate? Your GMC Sierra 1500 HD 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 change my Sierra 1500 HD's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your GMC Sierra 1500 HD 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.
