GMC recommends changing your 1989 V3500’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your V3500 in the above table. Outside of GMC-recommended oil change intervals, your V3500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by GMC if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your GMC V3500. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

GMC has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1989 V3500. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine.
