2003 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my GMC Sierra 2500 HD engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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 2500 HD oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 2500 HD spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does GMC Sierra 2500 HD oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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 2500 HD oil light illuminated? Your GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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 Sierra 2500 HD’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your GMC Sierra 2500 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.
