Oil Change Q&A for Your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500

  • Why check the motor oil level in my GMC Sierra 1500? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your GMC Sierra 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 Sierra 1500 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my GMC Sierra 1500? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our GMC Sierra 1500 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 1500 oil light illuminated? Your GMC Sierra 1500 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's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your GMC Sierra 1500 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.
