Oil changes are an essential service that help ensure that your vehicle runs
efficiently, as well as helping avoid costly repairs.
Your owner’s manual will inform you whether your car requires synthetic or
conventional oil. Synthetic oil typically costs more, as it’s specifically tailored for
high-performance engines; but for a hybrid solution that provides advantages of
both, try synthetic/conventional blend.
Conventional Oil
Oil and filter replacement are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to
extend the life of your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado‘s engine, while providing our service
technicians with an opportunity to scan for potential issues and catch any before
they become serious problems.
Conventional oil is made of petroleum extracted from the earth and refined to
improve how well it lubricates and dissipates heat in an engine’s extreme
environment. To maintain optimal performance for optimal performance in your car,
changing conventional oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or as per manufacturer
specifications should be performed.
Our service team will inspect both your oil level and engine oil filter during this
process to help prevent contaminants from damaging your engine. We suggest
performing periodic checks at home by looking out for changes in color or any metal
particles; our parts center can offer high-quality conventional or synthetic oils or you
could save some money with a combination synthetic/conventional blend solution.
Synthetic Oil
Though conventional oil remains widely available at auto parts stores, synthetic
motor oil options have grown increasingly popular due to their more precise usage
at lower temperatures, providing better protection.
If you’re interested in switching to synthetic motor oil for your Chevy Silverado,
consult its owner manual and look at what type is needed and at what interval.
Alternatively, talk with our service team here in Indianapolis regarding what
varieties we carry.

vehicle performance – visit our service center in Indianapolis to arrange one today.

Oil Filter
Most vehicles utilize oil filters constructed of pleated paper wrapped around a center
tube and fastened together using either cellulose or steel end plates, usually
composed of synthetic or wood-based cellulose material. An individual oil filter costs
between $5 and $20.
Before bringing in your vehicle for an oil change, ensure you have all of the tools and
parts required. These may include rags, safety glasses, wrench sets, containers for
used oil storage as well as new filters. It may also be beneficial to lay plastic
sheeting down on the floor in order to minimize oil spills.
Maintaining the recommended interval for oil changes will help keep your vehicle
running optimally, enhance performance, and help preserve value over time. Our
service experts can assist in choosing which oil type best suited to your Chevrolet
car or SUV.
