Should I check my GMC V2500 Suburban motor oil level?

Can I change my GMC V2500 Suburban oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
