Even the most robust Chevy needs regular maintenance, and oil changes are at the top of that list. Have you been keeping track of when your Chevy last had fresh oil? Let’s take a peek at the ways to tell if it’s time to head to the Chevy dealership for that oil service.

How Often Should You Change the Oil in Your Chevy?

Thanks to advancements in engine technology and high-quality oil products, many newer Chevrolet models can now comfortably go between 5,000 and 7,500 miles before needing fresh oil. Of course, this can vary based on your vehicle model and the type of oil used, so always consult your Chevy’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Why Oil Changes Matter

Without oil, your Chevy simply can’t run for long. Oil lubricates moving parts, minimizes friction, and helps to keep the engine cool. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes less effective due to heat, dirt, and exposure to oxygen.

What Happens If You Skip Changing the Oil?

Ignoring your scheduled oil services can lead to a cascade of engine issues. Old, dirty oil loses its ability to lubricate properly, leading to increased wear and tear on engine components. It can also cause a buildup of harmful deposits and lead to overheating, which can severely damage engine parts and potentially result in very expensive repairs, up to and including total engine failure.

Signs You Need Oil Service at the Chevy Dealership

The Check Engine or Oil Light Appears

The most obvious sign it’s time for oil is your Chevy’s onboard diagnostic system telling you it’s time. If the check engine or oil light illuminates your dashboard, take it as a nudge to schedule an appointment.

Dirty or Dark Oil

Fresh, healthy oil should be a clear amber color. Over time, it will darken due to particles collected from the engine. If you check your oil dipstick and the oil is dark and gritty, it’s a signal that your oil service is overdue.

Engine Noise and Knocking

Oil creates a protective layer between the parts of your engine, reducing friction and noise. If you start hearing increased engine noise or knocking, it could mean the oil is no longer providing adequate lubrication.

Oil Smell Inside Your Car

A strong oil smell inside the cabin, especially when accompanied by exhaust fumes or the smell of gasoline, is a big red warning sign. It can indicate serious and potentially hazardous engine problems, so you should have your car checked out right away.

Ignoring this simple maintenance task can lead to serious engine problems and a significant hit to your wallet. So, if it’s been a while since your last oil service, or if you’re noticing any of these signs, don’t delay. Call Lithia Chevrolet of Redding and schedule your oil service today.
