The majority of today’s new vehicles are equipped with the engine Oil Life System (OLS), which has made the 3,000-mile oil change obsolete in most cases. Depending on the age of the vehicle, driving habits and road conditions, vehicles with today’s advanced engines can go longer between oil changes. Always be sure to check your engine oil level regularly, even with an engine OLS.

A routine oil change at Ed Koehn Chevrolet keeps your Chevy running smoothly, from your Chevy Tahoe family vehicle to your Chevy Silverado workhorse or Chevy Equinox commuter car. Our certified technicians perform oil change services near Rockford, MI, with the latest tools to help your engine deliver peak performance.
Clean engine oil coats the surfaces inside the engine to reduce friction as parts move, helping critical components last longer and operate efficiently. Old or dirty oil can't circulate properly, which may cause parts to grind as they rotate, leading to an overheated engine and costly repairs. Buildup also blocks the oil's pathways and makes the engine work even harder, burning more fuel. Your Chevy Colorado pickup or Chevy Blazer SUV will greatly benefit from a routine oil change, since towing, hauling, and commuting through Grand Rapids puts extra strain on the engine and all its parts.
Your engine will give subtle warning signs when its oil is not working efficiently, including:
Drivers in Sparta, MI, should schedule service as soon as these signs appear. Ignoring them risks unnecessary engine wear and expensive repairs.
The recommended interval depends on your vehicle, driving style, and oil type. Many newer SUVs, like the Chevy Trax or Chevy Trailblazer models, have an oil life monitoring system that alerts you when service is due. You'll want to change oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for typical driving. However, if you typically drive in heavy stop-and-go traffic while commuting through Cedar Springs or frequently take shorter trips, your vehicle may require an oil change more often.
Checking the oil between service visits is a simple step to protect your engine.
Checking the oil once a month can help your Chevy Blazer SUV or Chevy Silverado pickup continue delivering reliable performance on trips in and around Greenville, MI.
A Chevy Trailblazer SUV with clean oil will operate at the correct temperature with less internal resistance or friction, helping it function optimally and deliver smoother acceleration and better fuel economy. A routine oil change in your Chevy Tahoe also helps maintain proper emissions levels, reducing carbon buildup inside the engine. But why? As your engine's oil ages, it accumulates dust and debris, thickening the oil, and loses its ability to properly lubricate moving parts, causing friction that forces the engine to use more energy. The added strain on your car's engine increases fuel consumption and can accelerate wear on pistons, bearings, and camshafts.
The service center at Ed Koehn Chevrolet performs every oil change using genuine parts and GM-approved fluids.
