Should I check my GMC Sierra 2500 HD motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Sierra 2500 HD’s engine to fail. 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 2500 HD oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my GMC exhaust smoke gray or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my GMC Sierra 2500 HD to illuminate?

The oil change light in your GMC Sierra 2500 HD could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to replace my Sierra 2500 HD’s oil filter when changing my oil?
