2018 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my GMC Sierra 3500 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, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to GMC Sierra 3500 HD engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 3500 HD spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers 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.

  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my GMC Sierra 3500 HD? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your GMC Sierra 3500 HD every time you change the oil.
