Regular oil and filter changes are routine maintenance procedures that keep your GMC Sierra 1500 in good working order on Princeton roads. Without regular oil/filter changes, you may end up paying hundreds of dollars down the road for an engine deep clean or thousands for an extensive repair/outright engine replacement. So, how often does a GMC Sierra 1500 need an oil change? And what is the best oil type for the GMC Sierra 1500?
Engine oil gets circulated through your engine and provides essential lubrication for its thousands of moving metal parts. Without it, the friction produced by constant metal-on-metal contact will damage your engine and necessitate an expensive repair or replacement. Similarly, an oil filter helps prevent premature engine damage by filtering out abrasive particles that would otherwise circulate with the oil and damage engine components.
According to GMC Certified Service, the Sierra 1500 needs an oil and oil filter change every 7,500 miles as part of routine maintenance. However, you may need more frequent oil/filter changes depending on your driving habits. Contact us to speak with our service technicians for a professional opinion, or visit our dealership in Cranbury so they can take a look under the hood.
It depends on which engine powers your Plainsboro travels. The latest GMC Sierra 1500 offers four engine options, including a diesel-powered one. For each engine type, the GMC Sierra 1500 Owner’s Manual recommends:
When choosing your engine oil, look for Dexos™. Dexos™ engine oils are proprietary GM products designed specifically for their engines. For gasoline-powered engines, look for Dexos™1-labelled synthetic oils; for diesel-powered engines, look for labels bearing the “DexosD” formulation.
An oil change typically includes replacing the oil filter. The GMC Sierra 1500 oil filter is a spin-on style filter from ACDelco. ACDelco is owned and backed by GM and provides OEM parts for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles, so you can be assured of its quality and compatibility.
