Chevy Oil Change 101

What Is an Oil Change?

An oil change is a routine vehicle maintenance service that replaces old engine oil with fresh oil and a new filter. Over time, the engine oil is spent and builds up sediment and debris. Our certified technicians drain the old oil from the reservoir, replace used gaskets and the old filter, and then fill the reservoir with the recommended oil type for your vehicle to the correct level.

How Do I Know if My Chevy Needs an Oil Change?

If you don't know the last time you had the oil changed, please call our Chevy Service Center at Ron Craft Chevrolet. We'll help you determine the correct intervals and when you should schedule your next oil change. You may also notice the following symptoms that it is time for an oil change:

  • A dashboard warning light is illuminated
  • Dirty, gritty engine oil
  • Low oil level
  • Exhaust smoke
  • Strange noises coming from the engine

How Often Does My Chevy Need An Oil Change?

New Chevy vehicles need an oil change every 7,500 miles. The interval can change depending on the age of the vehicle, driving style, and the owner's manual recommendations. For example, off-roading vehicles may need an oil change as frequently as every 3,000 miles. Some new Chevy vehicles have a maintenance indicator on the dashboard. If the "Change Engine Oil Soon" message pops up, you should schedule an oil change within 600 miles.

What Will Happen If My Car Doesn't Get an Oil Change?

If you don't get an oil change, your vehicle could experience several issues, including engine failure. Oil changes are necessary because the engine's moving parts must stay lubricated to run smoothly. Without enough clean oil, the engine will build up too much friction, which causes overheating, damage to internal moving parts, and eventually a breakdown.
