Oil Change Q&A for Your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 HD

  • Why check the motor oil level in my GMC Sierra 3500 HD? 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 eventually lead to GMC Sierra 3500 HD engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC Sierra 3500 HD oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 3500 HD spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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 caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does GMC Sierra 3500 HD oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs GMC Sierra 3500 HD oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my GMC Sierra 3500 HD oil light comes on? The oil change light in your GMC Sierra 3500 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my GMC Sierra 3500 HD? You should replace your GMC Sierra 3500 HD during each oil change.
