GMC recommends changing your 2001 Sierra 2500’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Sierra 2500 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
