Your Chevy Dealership’s Guide to Oil Changes

To ensure your Chevy always runs at its best, depend on routine oil and filter replacements from the Chevrolet Certified Service experts at your Chevy dealer. Replacing the oil and filter at regular intervals will improve your Chevy’s durability, reliability, fuel efficiency, and longevity. Plus, with every Chevrolet Certified Service oil change, our technicians will conduct a comprehensive multi-point vehicle inspection and a tire rotation for added peace of mind.

Routine oil and filter replacements from the Certified Service technicians at our Chevy dealer are critical for your Chevy’s overall performance. The oil lubricates the moving components under the hood to reduce friction and heat. Over time, the oil becomes contaminated and loses the ability to lubricate, cool, and protect the components. Without adequate lubrication, the components will grind together and wear prematurely.

A lack of proper lubrication will increase friction and wear and cause excessive heat. The exposure to extremely high temperatures causes the oil to oxidize and deteriorate. When the oil becomes sludgy, it clogs the passages, resulting in severe engine damage and expensive repairs.

To keep your Chevy on the road for thousands of miles, replace your vehicle’s oil and filter at the GM-recommended oil change intervals. Our GM-trained and certified technicians have the knowledge and expertise you can trust to perform expert oil and filter replacements using the correct oil for your Chevrolet model.

Every Chevrolet Certified Service oil change includes a comprehensive multi-point vehicle inspection and a four-tire rotation to keep your Chevy performing at its peak.

Most Chevrolet models come equipped with an Oil Life Monitoring System (OLMS) that continuously monitors your driving conditions, such as engine revolutions, speed, temperature, and mileage, to calculate when an oil and filter replacement is necessary.

When the OLMS detects the need for new oil, it will display a “Change Engine Oil Soon” message, indicating that you should schedule an oil and filter replacement within the next 600 miles. Our Certified Service expert technicians will replace the oil and filter and reset the OLMS.

To ensure your engine stays lubricated and protected, GM recommends replacing the oil and filter at least once a year, regardless of the OLMS. It’s important to check the oil level monthly and add more if necessary. Follow the GM-recommended oil change intervals for your specific model in your Chevrolet owner’s manual. You can always speak to one of our Certified Service expert technicians for further information.

The frequency of oil and filter replacements for your Chevy may vary depending on several factors, including your Chevy’s age, model, engine type, and mileage. Your driving habits and road conditions also determine the time between oil and filter replacements.

If you often drive your Chevy in severe conditions, such as extremely cold or hot temperatures, stop-and-go traffic, towing a trailer, or hauling heavy loads, you may need to replace the oil and filter more frequently.

Your engine needs the proper type and grade of oil to ensure optimal performance. GM recommends three high-quality oil types: ACDelco Gold Conventional Oil, ACDelco dexos1 Full Synthetic Oil, and Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil. These high-quality oils contain special additives that provide exceptional lubrication, including wear and corrosion protection. They also reduce oil consumption and improve engine performance.

ACDelco dexos1 Full Synthetic Oil is highly resistant to oxidation and deterioration, safeguarding your engine against harmful contaminants and sludge. Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil offers extra protection with exceptional anti-wear technology, outstanding high-temperature performance, and protection against low-temperature wear. Ask our Certified Service experts which grade of oil is recommended for your model’s engine.

When our Certified Service technicians perform an oil change, they replace the filter with a quality ACDelco oil filter. The oil filter ensures engine lubrication with clean, uncontaminated oil. The filter is designed to capture harmful contaminants, such as metal fragments, dirt, and debris, keeping impurities away from your engine. The new oil filter will keep your engine well-lubricated with clean oil and protect it against damage for much longer.

The Certified Service technicians at our Chevy dealer perform a comprehensive multi-point vehicle inspection with every oil and filter replacement. This detailed visual assessment allows them to determine your vehicle’s overall condition. Our technicians will check the remaining oil life percentage and fluid levels, inspect your brakes and battery, perform a battery test, and check your Chevy’s critical systems and components for leaks.

They will also conduct a windshield and wiper blade inspection, a visual tire tread wear check, and make sure your tires are correctly balanced and aligned. Our technicians will also verify your OnStar subscription to ensure you are connected.

During every Chevrolet Certified Service oil and filter replacement, the technicians at our Chevy dealer perform a four-wheel tire rotation. Regular tire rotations ensure your tires wear evenly and at the same rate, providing numerous benefits.

Uniform wear across all four tires improves braking and traction and boosts your Chevy’s fuel efficiency and handling performance. Best of all, by regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires, your tires will last longer, ultimately saving you money.
