Should I check my GMC Sierra 3500 HD motor oil level?

Can I change my GMC oil on my own?

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 3500 HD spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
