Oil needs vary from one vehicle to the next, depending on the year, make, model, and engine. Our team checks your specs before choosing the oil. Most Chevrolet gas engines call for dexos1® Full Synthetic, light-duty diesel engines use dexos2®, and Duramax® diesel engines use 15W-40 CJ-4. Compared with conventional oil, dexos-approved synthetic oil helps keep pistons cleaner, maintains its viscosity better, and reduces oil consumption.
How Often Does Your Chevrolet Need an Oil Change?
How often you need an oil change depends on your vehicle's age, how you drive, and the roads you drive on. Older models, especially those without an oil life monitor, usually need fresh oil about every 3,000 miles. Most newer Chevrolet models have an Oil Life Monitoring System that tracks your speed, engine temperature, driving habits, and local climate, then tells you when an oil change is due.
When "Change Engine Oil Soon" appears on your dashboard, plan to bring your vehicle in within the next 600 miles. Under ideal conditions, the system may not ask for an oil change for more than a year, but your oil and filter should still be changed at least once a year. Between visits, check your oil level from time to time. Do this with the engine warmed up and the vehicle parked on level ground, and follow the steps in your owner's manual.
Signs You're Due for an Oil Change in Aberdeen, MD
Most vehicles give a few warning signs before old oil leads to costly engine trouble. Schedule a visit with our service team if you notice:
A "Change Engine Oil Soon" message or other maintenance reminder on your dashboard
Oil on the dipstick that looks dark, gritty, or below the fill line
Rough idling or engine noise that's louder than usual
It's been a year since your last oil change, even if no reminder has come on
If the red oil pressure warning light comes on, pull over to a safe place and turn off the engine. Driving with low oil pressure can cause serious damage quickly, so have the vehicle checked before you drive it again.
