SIGNS YOU NEED TO SCHEDULE A CHEVROLET OIL CHANGE


Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining your vehicle's engine performance and longevity. Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule an oil change for your Chevrolet:

  • Engine Noise: If your engine starts making unusual noises, such as knocking or ticking, it could be a sign that the oil is too low or dirty to lubricate the engine properly.
  • Oil Change Reminder Light: Many Chevrolet models are equipped with an oil change reminder light that alerts you when it’s time to get your oil changed. Pay attention to this indicator to avoid engine damage.
  • Dirty or Dark Oil: If your engine oil looks dark and gritty or feels thick and sludgy when you check it, it’s time for a change. Fresh oil should be a golden or amber color.
  • Poor Engine Performance: If you notice a decrease in fuel efficiency or your engine is running rough, it could be due to old or dirty oil that is affecting engine performance.
  • Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Dark smoke coming from the exhaust can indicate that your oil is too old and has broken down, leading to improper combustion in the engine.
  • Burning Smell: A burnt oil smell coming from under the hood is a strong indicator that your oil needs to be changed. This could mean the oil is overheating or leaking.

If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's time to schedule your Chevrolet oil change at our Chevy dealership in Saline, MI. 

OIL FAQs

+

How can I be sure to get the correct type of motor oil for my vehicle?

You can check your Owner’s Manual for the correct grade. Or the Chevrolet Certified Service experts at Saline Chevrolet, Inc. can help ensure you get the proper oil for your vehicle during your scheduled service visit.

How do I know when my oil needs changing?

The majority of today’s new Chevrolet vehicles are equipped with the engine Oil Life System (OLS), which has made the 3,000-mile oil change obsolete in most cases. Depending on the age of the vehicle, driving habits and road conditions, vehicles with today’s advanced engines can go longer between oil changes. Always be sure to check your engine oil level regularly, even with an engine OLS.

Does regularly changing my oil filter help with the life of my engine?

Yes, it can. It helps ensure your engine is lubricated with clean oil, which can help provide optimal engine performance. See your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for the recommended oil change interval, or follow the engine Oil Life System, if equipped.
