2009 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my GMC Sierra 2500 HD engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your GMC Sierra 2500 HD engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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. 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 Sierra 2500 HD exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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, fried piston rings, or worn 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.
  • What can cause the oil light on my GMC Sierra 2500 HD to illuminate? Your GMC Sierra 2500 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 2500 HD's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your GMC Sierra 2500 HD every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
