Oil is a key contributor to your Chevrolet vehicles success. It helps lubricate the engine and aids in the proper functions of belts and other moving pieces. Maintaining the oil levels in your Chevrolet help you sustain engine performance, extend engine life, and reduce harmful emissions.
As your go to service spot in Watseka, The Dralle Chevrolet Buick GMC service center is here to help guide you in maintaining your oil levels.
How Often Should I Change the Oil in My Chevy?
Many Chevrolet vehicles are now equipped with an Engine Oil Life System which allows you to monitor your engine oil levels from the dash. Access this system on the DIC using the steering wheel, scroll using the up and down arrows. When you get to the oil life control screen, you will get an estimate of your vehicle's remaining oil life.
To manually check oil levels:
- Ensure your Chevy is parked on level ground
- Open the hood and remove the dipstick
- Clean the dipstick with a paper towel and then reinsert
- Remove the dipstick again. Check where oil level falls on the indicators.
- Replace the dipstick
Your vehicle’s dipstick will have indents to indicate when levels are too low or too high. When oil levels do not reach past the lowest indent, you will need to add oil to your Chevy.
Our service team recommends regularly checking oil levels as a proactive step in your vehicle’s care. This way when the time comes, you can easily make an appointment with Dralle Chevrolet Buick GMC and keep your vehicle safely on the road.
