Regular oil changes are a critical aspect of enjoying the best performance your Chevy truck or SUV has to offer in Midland. When you leave your model in the capable care of the Group 1 Chevrolet Hub City service team, you’ll always be assured that the correct Chevy oil type is used in your vehicle. Still, you may want to learn more about your model’s oil needs for your own education and familiarity. In the guide below, we’ll tell you more about the recommended oil grades for Chevy models, as well as some general oil service information. Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

Recommended Chevy Oil Types

From conventional to full synthetic, the correct oil for your specific Chevy can vary depending on the model, configuration, and vehicle age. We always recommend checking your owner’s manual to be entirely sure of the oil grade that’s safe to use in your model, but these are three typical oil options that the Chevrolet Certified Service experts use:

• ACDelco Conventional Oil
• ACDelco dexos1™ Full Synthetic Oil
• Mobil 1™ Full Synthetic Oil

In addition to checking your owner’s manual for model-specific oil requirements, you’re welcome to call our service team at anytime for assistance. 

Oil Change Frequency & Other Tips

How often do Chevy owners in Amarillo and Clovis, NM need to book an oil change? Much older model years may follow the previous standard of every 3,000 miles. However, newer models can go a lot longer between oil changes. 

If you drive a modern Chevy vehicle, here’s what you need to know:

• The standard oil change frequency is every 7,500 miles for the average driver. If you’re a high-mileage commuter or use your vehicle for extreme activities, like racing or off-roading, you may need more frequent intervals—talk to our team to create a proper schedule. 
• Many modern Chevy vehicles have an innovative Engine Oil Life System (OLS) that continuously monitors your vehicle’s speed, engine temperature, and operating conditions, and accounts for your unique driving habits and local climate to pinpoint exactly when to change the oil and filter. 
• During every oil change, your service tech will also replace your vehicle’s oil filter.
• Between oil change intervals, it’s smart to check the oil level regularly to monitor its volume and overall condition.
